Non Tomato Based sauce

[iaborn42]

I need some recipes for non tomato based sauces I could use on shredded zuccunhi. I can't tolerate the tomato based sauces and I would really like to find something else to use.

This is Carmella's recipe. Her pictures are here: http://www.rawfreedomcommunity.info/forum/showthread.php?t=3253

Angel Hair Pasta In Creamy Spinach Sauce

Serves 4

Angel Hair Pasta
Zucchinis, peeled and spiralized using the smallest setting

Creamy Spinach Sauce
4 cups spinach
1 small garlic clove
1/2 cup cashews
1/4 cup water
1 tbs lemon juice
1 tbs olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp thyme

Blend in high speed blender until very smooth.


Pine Nut Parmesan
1/2 cup macadamias
1/2 cup cashews
2 Tbs pine nuts
1 Tbs lemon juice
1Tbs flax meal
1 clove crushed garlic
1Tbs nutritional yeast
1/2 tsp salt

First process macadamias and cashews until ground. Then add the pine nuts, followed by the rest of the ingredients. Process until well mixed. You don’t want to overprocess the pine nuts as they release a lot of oil.


Assembly
Toss the noodles with the sauce. Top with red bell pepper cubes. Sprinkle with Pine Nut Parmesan and serve.

Carmella's Note:
Pictures showing before and after mixing the sauce. Oh, and in case you're wondering, the second pic is a single portion which explains why it seems to have shrunk so much.

Thanks for sharing ideas and links. My challenge for tomorrow is potluck and some don't eat mushrooms, garlic, onions so I was thinking coconut meat which I got from my coconut would help with my sauce. The meat is kind of thick so it could old. So I was thinking coconut meat, tomatoes, red pepper, ginger (got some ideas from the post here) with pinch of basil to mock the sweet sour sauce at the link. I don't want to eat the coconut meat so let others. Will put sauce on side and purpose would be for fresh salad.

Thanks again.

Call it what you wish, but it was a hit at tonight's rawluck.

Coconut Sauce (note no mushrooms/onion/garlic)
coconut meat
lime-small one peeled...start tiny...
apple...about 1/4 of small apple
cilantro (few sprigs)
red bell (1/4 bell pepper)
tomato (1/4)

pinch water

blend till smooth....

use on salad...........or maybe pasta

Note: Didn't use any salt either...it is creamy so why not on pasta????

Enjoy.
