A spaghetti bolognese replacement (recipe!)

An easy replacement for spaghetti bolognese .

This is a raw dish, that is mostly comprised of fruit ! 

Zucchini is a fruit

Get yourself a spiralizer ! It will do wonders for enabling you to consume pasta like dishes but will Enable you to be eating fruits and easily digestible fibrous materials. 

Gluten, wheat  and starch can act as an adhesive, slowing down the digestive process. 

Cheese and pesto components not included in recipe yet…You’re gonna have to keep reading this blog or check out my food content coming out for that! Enjoy your marinara sauce tho!

Therefore this is a great recipe to use to satisfy your pasta cravings.

A great spiralizer I’ve used is made by a company called oxo .

They are a brand that makes Both a handheld spiralizeder good for spiralizing  on the go or while traveling. This unit fits in a drawer . The other unit you will have to store in the cabinet but it is much faster and has a crank . This countertop one is faster and doesn’t give your forearms a workout like the other one. The handheld one is a legit workout! 

Here’s a photo! 

Ok so ! 

What you’ll need :

Noodles 

• 1-3 Zucchini’s (I don’t know how Much. Play around), 

how much pasta do you want to eat!?  I usually eat 1-3  medium to large ones depending on my hunger level and how Much other foods I’m eating that day 

Sauce 

2 fresh medium tomatoes (good place to use bruised but still good tomatoes ) 

-most of a small white onion
-1/2 lemon, juiced (maybe more but stir in at end)

-1/2 tsp garlic powder

- 3 dates without pits (medjool is ideal)

-1/3 a cup of sundried tomatoes 

-1/2 red bell pepper 

-1 clove garlic 

-1/3 cup basil

- 2 TBSP dried or fresh oregano 

-1 tsp apple cider vinegar

- 1/4 TBSP  black pepper 

-1/2 TBSP chipotle powder 

Instructions : 

To make the pasta: Spiralize 1-3 medium to large sized zucchini’s. The quantity depends on the amount of pasta you’d like to eat.
if you don’t have access to a spiralize , You can cut the zucchini into lengthwise sliced pieces and then cut as thinly as possible down the length of the zucchini in order creating a thing noodle. Store in bowl tuntil you make the sauce.

To make the sauce : Put  everything in a blender with the most water intensive ingredients on the bottom . Do not over blend or it may get too watery . Add any lemon quantity over 1/2 the lemon at the end and stir in.  Put water in at the end in slow amounts so as to not make it too watery. Water should be added according to desired sauce chunkiness level. Less water leads to a chunkier sauce. Do not over lend either or the tomatoes can liquify creating more watery size. You can also play with tomato quantity to create thicker or more watery sauces!

To eat  : serve the pasta with the desired amount of sauce on top. You can use a nut based cheese or nutritional yeast as a cheesy topping. More meaty toppings would be Walnut meat  and Mushrooms which I will write a blog post about before next week!

I’ll write about these topping and the many options for them for now . I’ll add them in on the update on the bottom but I have a lot to say about these two toppings! So they’ll get their own post next week first . til then long story short. You can marinade mushrooms and use as toppings. And you can make meat by blending sun dried tomatoes and or mushrooms wirh walnuts and Ali ing in a verity od ways given what cuisine type Youd like to Emulate

Storage : the sauce should be good for 3-5 days in the fridge depending

the zucchini noodles will dry out so beat to eat fresh or within 1-3 days. Monitor all Stored Ingredients and taste test slowly after smelling if on the fence. See how you feel some Time after a small taste

This dish is made of mostly fruits(all basically), is low fat, vegan ,plant based, raw, gluten free and has no oil and salt. Though you may add some salt if you need it. I’d recommend celery salt if you must!

This makes it a good meal for those struggling with a whole range of issues!
