1. Bake whole spaghetti squash for 45 minutes at 375 degrees. Remove from oven, cut in half lengthwise and allow to cool.
2. Dice onion and tomato. Heat olive oil over medium. Add onion and sautee until translucent. Turn off heat. Toss in diced tomato, black pepper, fresh basil, and lemon zest. Toss with the oil.
3. Scoop seeds out of the spaghetti squash. Feel free to save them for spicing and toasting! Scoop out the spaghetti squash with a large spoon. It should just come apart easily and look like noodles about the size of angel hair pasta. Toss into the pan with onions and tomatoes. Mix. Add a little more olive oil, adjust lemon zest, salt, and pepper to suit your tastes.
4. Serve hot, garnished with a fresh basil leaf, grated parmesan, and a sprinkle of lemon zest.

Each dosha reflects a distinct metabolic nature and describes strengths & weaknesses in bodily function, and how these affect energy levels, digestion, susceptibility to disease, and many other tendencies.
Your metabolic nature not only affects your physical characteristics, but also influences your mental thought patterns, confidence, and enthusiasm.
Ayurveda balances these metabolic strengths & weaknesses to support your body's vitality and prevent recurrent disease cycles. This support is a critical aid, especially in chronic or incurable disease conditions.
The 3 metabolic body types (doshas), are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha).
Through dosha, Ayurveda empowers people to identify metabolic imbalances early, break repetitive patterns of disease, and cultivate habits that support long-term vitality and well-being.
Ultimately, these metabolic patterns also provide a framework for understanding yourself, including body, mind, and spiritual tendencies.
