If you love Italian food, but hate the crash that happens after carb-loading on spaghetti, you'll love this. If you're a busy person who still wants to eat healthfully in a hurry, you'll love this. And if you're just a fan of really tasty food, you'll love this!
Raw Zucchini Pasta
(Serves 2-3)
4-5 small zucchini
Raw Creamy Basil Alfredo
1 small zucchini
1/4 cup pine nuts
1/4 cup cashews
1/2 cup fresh basil
1 lemon, juiced
1 teaspoon sea salt (or more)
Dash of cayenne pepper
Using a spiral slicer or vegetable peeler, shave the first 4-5 zucchini into noodles. Set aside. In a blender, add all sauce ingredients and blend into a smooth cream. Pour the sauce over the noodles in a large bowl and mix. You could eat it just like that, or you could add some fresh greens, sliced mushrooms, chopped artichokes, black olives, red bell pepper, etc. This is a great basic recipe that can be expanded in innumerable ways. Use some creativity and see what happens.
I placed mine on a bed of local greens and tossed some chopped red bell pepper on top, then sprinkled Herbamere over it all. Delish!
