Directions

Notes

To roast squash, place a seeded, halved squash (acorn, butternut, or pumpkin), on a parchment lined baking sheet. Roast at 350ºF for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until very tender. Cool and scoop out flesh for use in this recipe.

Step 1

Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor and purée until smooth. If you don’t have a blender or food processor, you can whisk together all ingredients in a bowl, adding the water last, slowly (the sauce will be less smooth, but still delicious). Set aside.

Step 2

In a large pot of boiling water, cook brown rice pasta according to package directions (most brands take 8 minutes); during the last 2 minutes, add the broccoli. Drain and rinse with water. Add back to pot, along with zucchini noodles or slices and prepared Squash Teriyaki Sauce.

Step 3

If you want to eat it cold, toss all ingredients together and refrigerate for about 2 hours. If you want it warm (how I like it), cook over medium heat, (gently) tossing often, until very hot (about 5-8 minutes). To serve, garnish top with sesame seeds.
