What's fer dinner?

Thus far in my raw food adventures I have found that you have to try a recipe at least twice! Try, try again riggghhht? Well this was my second time trying to make Raw Spaghetti; first time not so good... I ended up throwing it away. But the second time! Whew! So good I have to share!

I tried a different recipe and tweaked it to make it my own!
Here is the original recipe and my little additions!
For the sauce:
*6 roma tomatoes (I used a fist full of grape tomatoes because they are sweeter!)
* 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (soak for 15 mins- makes a big diff. believe it or not!)
* 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil ( I used dried basil- about 1/4 cup)
*1 green onion chopped
*2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil (always buy cold pressed!)
*1 tsp Nama Shoyu (for those of you who don’t know this is a naturally fermented soy sauce.)
* 1 garlic clove
*1/2 tsp of raw agave nectar ( I would use raw honey because of all the hype about agave and how it's really not all that good for you.)
*Himalayan salt to taste
*freshly ground pepper
*dash of dried oregano (I used fresh because I had it on hand.)

For the "noodles":
* 1 zucchini (put that puppy through a spiral vegi  slicer! amazing investment btw.)
* around half a red bell pepper chopped ( I love peppers && red peppers are sweet.)
* to your taste yellow sweet onion chopped ( I did about a half cup.)
*Raw olives! (now they have raw olives on diff. raw food websites but I just use higher end olives from a natural foods store... katamala is good too!)
*dash of Himalayan salt, fresh ground black pepper and fresh parsley to garnish.
And this is what it all looks like!
