Submitted by RawMusician on September 21, 2007 - 2:11pm
basically blend the sauce all together. I like to blend for a long time till it actually warms slightly. Then pour over the Pasta noods and mushrooms and olives for an awesome pasta!
Enjoy.
Ingredients:
The bulk:
2 zucchini's of your choice, cut into thin pasta like strips with a grater or mandolin
15 or so sun-ripedened black
olives (so good)
a few chanterelle mushrooms
some sundried tomotoes (optional)
For the Suace:
About 3/4 cups pine
nuts
squeeze a whole lime, to taste
Some cayenne powder, to taste
at least 1 clove of garlic, again, to taste
about 3 - 5 tsp flax
oil
some pure water, add slowly in blender to desired thickness/creamyness
a pinch or to of sea salt
3/4 to 1 tbspn of nutritional yeast, sorta optional but adds a interested flavour

amazing tastes better than the original

Oh, yeah. I also used sun-dried tomatoes and made the sauce without the nutritional yeast, and I made a double batch, which is why I had enough for 3 zucchinis and still have some left over. Yum!

I used Morroccan olives, and I used portabella (don't know what chanterelle are) mushrooms. I cut up the mushrooms and marinated them in a combo of olive oil and the liquid from the olives. They got squishy (I squeezed the liquid out of them with my hands) and were full of flavor. I loved the pasta!! I ate one zucchini, then had to immediately slice up a second one! The third zucchini for breakfast the next morning, and I HAVE TO GET MORE ZUCCHINI!!!! Thank goodness I'll be growing it this summer :) With all the flavor the mushrooms took on, I didn't need the olives, but it was also good with a few olives and less mushrooms. There was a slight aftertaste - from the lime & cayenne, maybe? But I ate it so fast I only had that taste at the end. I wonder if lemon might be different on the aftertaste, but the lime makes it so good!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!!
