Raw Italy

This dish knocked our socks off. Really, I didn’t think raw food could taste so good! Looks like I have a lot to learn. Whether we stick with the raw food regiment or not, this recipe will be a mainstay in my kitchen. Try it and let me know what you think.

Here’s what you need:

• 3 green zucchini
• 3 yellow zucchini
• 1/2 batch Raw Pistachio Pesto
• 1/2 batch Raw Marinara

1. Using a mandoline or spiral slicer, cut the zucchini into long thin strips, like pasta.
2. Place the zucchini in a large bowl and toss it with the pesto. Another option is to place the zucchini in a large ziplock back with the pesto and shake it up until fully incorporated.
3. Put a heaping pile on each plate and top with the raw marinara. Season with freshly ground sea salt and pepper.

   We made this recipe tonight and it was amazing! The only change was to decrease the olive oil in the raw marinara (still smooth and delicious). I think our pistachios were roasted, thus not raw. Where do you get raw pistachios anyway? We considered lightly steaming the zucchini, but decided to go with raw and we were glad we did. Thanks so much for doing the research Di. We are certainly benefiting from your efforts!
