Raw Tomato Pasta Sauce with Zucchini 'Pasta'
Turn a classic pasta dish into a nutrient-rich, high protein, vegan feast. This dish can be served cold and raw, or heated if you prefer. The ÔpastaÕ is made from zucchini and the sauce packed with protein!
Ingredients
1 punnet or cherry tomatoes
¼ cup loosely packed basil leaves
5 olives
¼ cup sun dried tomatoes
1 serve Just Natural Clean Lean Protein
½ clove garlic, finely grated
2-3 medium zucchini
Pinch of sea salt
1 tsp olive oil
Method
- Using a vegetable peeler, peel each zucchini into desired sized ribbons and continue peeling until you reach the centre seeds (the centre is a little bitter, so you can discard this part)
- Sprinkle salt and olive oil over zucchini and gently massage into noodles and set aside in a bowl.
- Blend all remaining ingredients in a blender to desired consistency.  Pulse or use a low setting so you can control the consistency a little easier.  The olives and sun dried tomatoes should add salt to the sauce, but taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary.
- Simply serve noodles topped with a few spoonfuls of sauce.
