Spaghetti al Marinara

Serves 4

raw diet recipesIngredients

Spaghetti:

3 yellow summer squash or zucchini

Marinara Sauce:

6 large tomatoes
5 sun dried tomatoes
2 garlic cloves
1/2 bunch fresh basil
2 tablespoons oregano
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup cold-pressed olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
4 dates, pitted
1 teaspoon himalayan sea salt

Directions

For the pasta: There are several ways to make pasta from a squash. One is using an ordinary (potato) peeler. Peel thin slices of the squash, then with a fork or knife, create thin strands of "pasta".

Another one is using a fancy, but simple kitchen tool often used in the raw food kitchen and by chefs: a spiralizer. Cut the zucchini in about four pieces and by putting them in the mandolin, you can create beautiful thin angel hair pasta.

Put the pasta strands in a bowl and sprinkle with a mixture of olive oil and some salt. Set aside.

For the marinara sauce put all ingredients in a high speed blender and blend until creamy. Add purified water if you feel the consistency is too thick.

For serving: take off the excess oil of the pasta. Put the pasta on a plate and top with the sauce. You may add additional toppings such as slice olives, chopped tomatoes, onions or basil leafs.

Tip

  • This is one of the most flexible raw food recipies. You could serve this pasta with other sauces like a pesto or alfredo sauce. Just replace the marinara sause with a pesto sauce or alfredo sauce.

  • This pasta tastes delicious with "meat balls" made from walnuts.

  • For creamier sauce, I'd like to add a few almonds or some hemp seeds.

  • You can heat up the pasta up to about 118 degrees F if you feel like eating a warmer dish. You can do this by rinsing it with warm water or by leafing it a few minutes in the dehydrator at 50F or oven at 70F.

  • This is one of the best raw food recipies to make in case you also have to cook for not raw family members. You can make them ordinary - or better: whole wheat spelt - pasta and share the sauce and topping.

  • If you or your family members are used to processed ketchup or tomato sauces, you may not think this sauce is sweet and salt enough. (Heinz ketchup is 30% sugar). In this case you may want to add a few more dates or drops stevia and some more salt until your taste buds are adjusted.

    Enjoy!
