Ingredients

  1. 2 small acorn squash, halved, stemmed and seeded
  2. 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
  3. Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  4. 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  5. 1 small red onion, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  6. 3 cloves garlic, minced
  7. 1 14-ounce package firm tofu, drained and coarsely crumbled
  8. 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  9. 1 5-ounce package baby spinach (about 8 cups)
  10. 2 tablespoons shredded parmesan cheese
  11. 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  12. 2 whole-wheat pitas, toasted and torn into 1-inch pieces

Instructions

  1. Put the squash in a large microwave-safe bowl. Add 1 tablespoon dill, a splash of water, and salt and pepper to taste. Cover with plastic wrap, pierce the plastic and microwave until tender, 15 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook, stirring, until soft, 3 minutes. Stir in the tofu and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, undisturbed, 2 minutes, then cook, stirring, until browned, 3 more minutes.
  3. Push the tofu and onion to one side of the pan; add half of the tomatoes to the other side and season with salt. Cook, stirring the tomatoes, 3 minutes, then stir into the tofu and onion mixture. Add half of the spinach and a splash of water and stir until the spinach wilts. Stir in 1 tablespoon parmesan and 1 teaspoon lemon juice.
  4. Toss the pitas, the remaining spinach, tomatoes, 3 tablespoons dill, 1 tablespoon parmesan, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, and salt to taste in a bowl. Spoon the tofu mixture into the squash. Serve with the salad.

I dont like dill so I didnt use it. Although I used other seasonings I thought it was bland so I drizzled balsamic dressing on it and it delicious .
