Receta Raw "pasta"

by Allison Brewer

A while back I wrote about a raw chili that I had enjoyed for dinner. Since I loved the "nut meat" portion of the meal so much, I created a raw "pasta" meal using similar ingredients. Instead of noodles, I used a potato peeler to cut raw zucchini into ribbons. I topped the zucchini with a raw tomato sauce and some "nut meat".

• Raw Tomato Sauce
• 3 large tomatoes
• 2 shallots, peeled
• Handful fresh basil leaves
• 1 cup re-hydrated sun dried tomatoes (soaked in warm water for about 20 min.)
• 2 tablespoons fresh oregano
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1-2 tablespoons agave nectar
• Sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste
• Place all ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth.
• Italian "Nut Meat"
• 1 cup walnuts
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 handful of fresh basil
• 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1-2 tablespoons sun dried tomatoes (soaked if dry)
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, to taste

Place all ingredients in a food processor and process into small pieces.
