Raw Pasta and Tomato Sauce
This raw Tomato Sauce is simple to make; it takes 5 minutes.
It’s a great way to take advantage of your abundance of warm weather tomatoes.
I serve this with raw zucchini noodles. If you haven’t tried this you’ll be amazed at how delicious they are. You can also use your own noodles.
To make the zucchini noodles, you’ll need a spiralizer, a convenient kitchen tool to have. The spiralizer makes long pasta noodles from vegetables like zucchini and can also be used for potatoes, or any firm root vegetable.
You can also use a simple vegetable peeler to create your own zucchini noodle strips. Just wash the zucchini and peel the skin, then peel long strips of pasta with your peeler. Enjoy!
Preparation:
1. In a food processor, combine garlic, tomatoes with juice, olive oil, and basil. Pulse quickly to chop roughly. Pulse more for a smoother sauce, if desired.
2. Transfer to a bowl, add salt and pepper and mushrooms and let stand to marinate for about 20 minutes.
3. Cook pasta until just tender, drain and toss hot with the marinated tomato sauce, or top your zucchini noodles.
