Raw Food Kalamata Sauce for Zucchini "Pasta"

Here is a different variety of sauce to use on Zucchini Pasta (made in the spiral slicer). Serves 4.


Ingredients:

3 cloves minced garlic
2 sundried tomatoes
1 sweet red bell pepper, cut into large chunks
6 tomatoes, quartered
1 cup kalamata olives, pitted
juice and zest  of 1 lime
1/2 cup fresh basil
2 tbsp olive oil
salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
pinch of dried red hot chili peppers or hot sauce (optional)
1/2 tsp each of dried parsley, thyme & oregano


Place all ingredients in a food processor and process for a couple of minutes until well combined. Cover for at least one hour to allow flavours to blend. Toss over spiraled zucchini right before serving. Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese.

Raw Food Marinara Sauce for Zucchini "Pasta"

We had my birthday lunch at a wonderful raw food restaurant in our area! They use a "spiral slicer": http://www.therawfoodworld.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=316_328 to make the zucchini "pasta". You can use other vegetables to get the same result (large carrots are a good option). To make the Marinara Sauce, put all ingredients in a food processor and process for a couple of minutes until well combined. It is a good idea to do this about an hour before you want to eat, so that the flavours have time to blend nicely. Put the zucchini through the spiral slicer at the last minute to maintain freshness. Be very careful with the blades on these slicers as they are extremely sharp!


Ingredients for sauce (serves 4):

-4 medium ripe tomatoes, quartered
-1 large red bell pepper, cut into large chunks
-4 sundried tomatoes packed in oil
-3 garlic cloves, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
-6 or more large fresh basil leaves
-1/4 cup fresh oregano
-salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
-pinch of dried, red hot chili peppers or hot  sauce (optional)
-2 tbsp olive oil


After processing in food processor of a couple of minutes, cover and store in air tight container for one hour before tossing with zucchini. Serve with freshly grated parmesan cheese.
