Raw Zucchini Spaghetti

June 12, 2010

Okay, I really did it, I made raw spaghetti using spiral sliced zucchini instead of regular pasta noodles. It was actually really good- I have to admit, I was a little surprised. I got the recipe from this link, and check out their pictures because they are a lot better than mine turned out- (I am still working on my photography skills.) They said to put in 1-2 cloves garlic, but that was just to much, so I would say 1/2- 1 clove will be plenty.

Recipe:

3 large heirloom tomatoes, or the equivalent of the same amount of cherry tomatoes – cut in chunks
2-3 halves sun-dried tomatoes
1-2 dates – pits removed
1/2 -1 clove garlic
1 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup or more fresh basil leaves
1-2 leaves, or 1 tbsp of fresh oregano (optional)
Handful of flat leaf parsley (optional)
Celtic salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

Combine all the ingredients in a food processor. Serve over zucchini shaved on a spiral slicer on the spaghetti setting.

Try it… and let me know what you think!
