Author Notes: Inspired by dymnyno's recipe for summer squash pasta and tweaked from various raw recipes for tomato sauce. Nothing terribly new under the sun, but pretty darn good. - wssmom
Serves 2
- 2 zucchini, sliced into pasta-like ribbons using a mandolin or other implement
- 2 really ripe tomatoes, chunked
- 1/2 red pepper, chunked
- 5 sun-dried tomatoes (not in oil) soaked in warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- handful fresh basil leaves, torn
- small handful fresh oregano leaves, torn
- a little salt
- basil chiffonade, for garnish
- In a food processor (not a blender or you'll wind up with pink foam) process together the tomatoes, pepper, sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil, basil and oregano until nice and chunky
- Stir into the zucchini ribbons, taste and add salt as needed.
- Garnish with basil as desired

I hope you do -- the sun-dried tomatoes and the dates really make it special!

You can even serve it warmed to 118 degrees if you want to cleave to the concept of raw food ...
