Alessa's recipe for Raw Ravioli is SO GOOD - I made it last week and ate most of it right when I made it and the rest for breakfast the next morning - I made a double batch 2 days later of 100 raviolies and split them into ten groups and put them into baggies and threw 'em in the freezer.

I had some today and they taste THE SAME as the day I made them - the wrappers are softer, but YUM YUM!!

Oh the garlicy nutty cheesy goodness - My favorite food - 10 stars!!

I could eat it every day :D :D :D

There is no harm in this.
Next month it will be something else that you love. Amazing how our tastes change according to our needs.

It's a great book...you should definitely get it...it's MUCH more than a mere recipe book! Per Alissa's request, we don't get into posting recipes from Living on Live Food without her permission unless they are already posted on her site or another site with her permission. So, because it is posted on her website...

Raw Ravioli

This is one of my favorite raw recipes, I often make these at seminars and events and people go wild over them! There is always one person who continues to ask me through the whole event "What kind of pasta is this made from" even after I tell them numerous times that it's turnip not pasta. It's hard to believe these are raw!

Wrapper:

* 4 turnips

Peal the turnips. Slice the turnips into very thin slices, by cutting them in half and then using a spiral slicer, mandolin or other vegetable slicer to make thin round disks.

These will be used as the wrapper which would normally be the pasta dough.

Cheese filling:

* 1 cup pine nuts
* 1 cup macadamia nuts
* 1 cup walnuts
* 6 t braggs
* 8 t lemon juice
* 2 cloves garlic
* 1 cup parsley

Blend the pine nuts, macadamia nuts and walnuts in a food processor until ground. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend well, until creamy.

Tomato Sauce:

* 2 large tomatoes
* 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes
* 1/4 fresh basil
* 1 clove garlic
* 6 dates
* dash of olive oil (optional)

Soak the sun dried tomatoes until soft. Blend in food processor, the tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, and garlic until well blended . Add the dates and olive oil and blend until smooth. This sauce should be thick.

Directions for assembling the ravioli:

Remove a single turnip slice from the batch. Place a teaspoon full of cheese filling in the turnip slice and fold the turnip over until all the sides meet. Squeeze the edges together. Some of the filling will ooze out, but this is what will hold the edges together. Just put the excess back into the bowl to reuse. If you don't have enough filling in them they will not stick together. Place them in a single layer on a large plate and drizzle the tomato sauce on top, allow to sit for a few hours. The turnip will become soft from the tomato sauce. Use a spatula to scoop the ravioli's up and serve.

I have been chowing on the beet raviolis from therawtable.com - so delicious and highly recommended! The beet flavor is very subtle but goes very well with the herbs in her cheese. I will try Alissa's recipe next week.

Since I don't own a dehydrator, this is the BEST raw recipe I've ever tasted!

Ohh... I saw this in her book and I think I may try them today. Shouldn't be able to mess this up too bad, right? I don't recall reading that she dehydrated them, but am I wrong? I thought it was weird because it seems like it needs to be.

No dehydration needed - I think that would actually make them taste not so good - I don't know though, I have never tried to dehydrate them.

Last time, we put them on a plate, covered with a plastic bag and popped them in the dehydrator for about an hour or so just to warm them up. We actually liked them better that way. Tonight, we're having left-overs that I had frozen... Yum!
