ani phyo's recipe is awesome!! i don't have my book with me but it might be on the site already. it has about 2 cups tomatoes, 1/2 cup fresh basil, a few sundried tomatoes, pinch of oregano, 1/4 cup olive oil, a little lemon juice, 1/2 tsp sea salt, pepper, and 1-2 dates. it's something like that haha i've made it quite a few times.

The trick is sundried tomatoes!! They make the flavor much more potent. This is the one I've made recently that I like: http://goneraw.com/recipe/marinara-sauce-0

Here's another. Can't remember where I got it. I think the addition of the pepper makes this one so good:

1 lge red or yellow pepper
3/4 cup tomato
1/4 c. sundried tomato
1/4 tsp salt
generous sprinkle thyme, oregano, basil
1 date

geez i wish i had zucchini in the house! i'm gonna make that one for dinner, rawfreak. can cucumbers be made into noodles?

Cucumbers are too watery, in my experience

thanks for the tip, eecho. i'm gonna wait for zucchini.

This one is sooo yummy!

thanks everyone! I really appreciate it!

in case you were still wondering, here's ani phyo's recipe:

2 cups tomatoes, chopped
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
juice of 1/2 lemon or lime, about 1 tablespoon
1 teaspoon pitted dates
1 teaspoon oregano, fresh or dried
1/2 teaspoon rosemary, fresh or dried
1 teaspoon sea salt
3 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes

i haven't tried it yet, but it's on the menu for tomorrow i believe

This is great sauce as well ... you could add more spices as in the recipe above (oregano and rosemary). It has substantially more sundried tomatoes, which gives it spectacular flavor.

Marinara Sauce
Alissa cohen living on live food book)

2 ½ cups tomatoes
12 sun dried tomatoes, soaked
¼ cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic
3 dates, pitted and soaked

Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.

I like this one:

1 tbsp fresh basil
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

red pepper flakes
sea salt and/or agave to taste
