Raw Spaghetti: Zucchini Pasta, Marinara Sauce, Marinated Mushrooms & Cashew Garlic 'Rawmesan'

Zucchini Pasta
1 large zucchini
Peel the zucchini if you prefer softer pasta.  Cut into about 2-3” chunks and spiralize using a spiral slicer.  Set aside.


Marinara Sauce
4 ripe tomatoes (about 2 C)
1 C sun dried tomatoes, soaked or oil packed
1 red bell pepper, chopped (about 1 C) - optional
4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 - 1 C fresh basil
1 tsp dried onion
1 tsp crushed garlic
1 tsp sea salt
Dash black pepper
Dash cayenne (to taste)

Place all ingredients in a food processor fitted with the S blade and process to desired consistency.  Serve over zucchini noodles.  If desired, add marinated mushrooms or black olives.

Raw Marinated Mushrooms
1 C mushrooms, sliced (any type)
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp sea salt

Place sliced mushrooms in a bowl with olive oil & salt.  Stir once every few minutes until marinated consistency is achieved (about 30 minutes).

Cashew Garlic ‘Rawmesan'
1/2 C cashews
1 clove garlic
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 Tbsp nutritional yeast, or more to taste

Using a small blender, process cashews into powder & set aside.  Process garlic & salt, then add cashew powder & nutritional yeast; pulse just until combined.  Use just as you would parmesan cheese.
