Zucchini Marinara Raw PastaPT25Mhttps://img5.recipesrun.com/201907/2019/0929/24/f/543108/300x200x90.jpg You can enjoy zucchini noodles -- zucchini that’s been cut into long, thin strands or strips that resemble pasta -- in a host of different ways, but this recipe is my favorite. It’s simple, it's fast, and it’s an amazing reminder of how authentic and satisfying raw food recipes can taste. The marinara sauce is prepared by blending up tomatoes (both fresh and sun-dried) with olive oil and spices, but it has a richness and a depth that you’d never expect from a sauce that hasn’t spent so much as a minute on the stove. 4 servings

Method
Step 1
Blend the tomatoes, pepper, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, maple syrup, sea salt, black pepper, thyme, and basil in a blender or a food processor till relatively smooth.
Step 2
Drizzle in the olive oil with the motor of the machine running, and keep blending till the sauce is smooth. Season to taste, and set the sauce aside.
Step 3
Use a spiralizer, a vegetable peeler, or a box grater to cut your zucchini into noodle shapes. Divide the zucchini onto four plates, and top each with about half a cup of the marinara sauce.
Step 4
Garnish each plate with a tablespoon of chopped basil, and serve.
