Raw Zucchini Pasta

We went to a wonderful vegetarian restaurant in St. Louis and I ordered Fettuccini Alfredo not realizing it was made with raw zucchini noodles.  I had to make it when I got home so I bought a Spiral Slicer and made the noodles then added other healthy veggies.  I heated up the sauce but you could also eat it room temp.

Raw Zucchini Pasta: 

2-3        large zucchinis, peeled then run through the Spiral Slicer

Other Ingredients:

            Broccoli pieces

            Sliced red pepper

            Sliced mushrooms

            Sliced red onion

Alfredo Sauce (from Vegan Yum Yum by Lauren Ulm) 

1            cup soy or nut milk

1/3         cup  raw, unsalted cashews

1/4         cup nutrional yeast

3            tablespoons low-sodium tamari or soy sauce

2            tablespoons Earth Balance margarine

1            tablespoon tahini

1            tablespoon fresh lemon juice

2            teaspoons Dijon or stone-ground mustard

1/2         teaspoon paprika

1            pinch nutmeg

1            pinch salt

              black pepper to taste

2-4         garlic cloves  (optional)

Mix together the soy milk, cashews, yeast, tamari (or soy sauce), margarine, tahini, lemon juice, mustard, paprika, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and garlic in a blender and blend on high until very smooth. If your blender is having issues with grinding the nuts smoothly, you can strain the sauce.
