Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 450F. Spray a large baking sheet lightly with cooking spray; add squash, sprinkle with curry powder and toss to coat. Arrange in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes, turning squash once with a spatula.

2. Meanwhile, cook lentils and bay leaves in enough boiling salted water to cover in a large saucepan over medium heat for 20 minutes, or until tender; add red onion for the last 2 minutes of cooking. Drain in a colander. Discard bay leaves.

3. While squash and lentils are cooking, thoroughly wash the spinach and spin dry. Whisk together apricots, chicken broth, parsley, vinegar, canola oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add lentils and squash and stir to combine well. Serve warm over spinach; garnish with almonds.
