4 medium zucchini (8 cups noodles)
2 large tomatoes, chopped (2 cups)
2/3 cup pitted olives, diced
2 tsp capers, optional
1 Tbsp cold-pressed olive oil, optional
1 large clove garlic, pressed or minced
1/2 cup minced Italian parsley
1/2 cup chiffonade basil
1 tsp fresh thyme
1/2 tsp sea salt (or to taste)
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
Black pepper, to taste
2 Tbsp pine nuts
Prepare pasta just before you intend to serve it for maximum freshness. Store topping in a glass container in the refrigerator and enjoy within 2 days. Prepare zucchini noodles using a mandoline set to 1/8-inch julienne setting or using a spiralizer and set aside or in the refrigerator.
Prepare puttanesca: To a large bowl, add remaining ingredients except pine nuts, stir well, and let sit for 3 to 5 minutes.
To serve, divide noodles onto 4 plates and top with desired amount of puttanesca, making sure to distribute juices too. Alternatively, toss the noodles and vegetables together and allow people to serve themselves.
Variations
If you have more time, try tossing the zucchini noodles in Pesto Sauce in Module 9 before topping with the vegetables. You will have to wait patiently for this variation!?
Fruit Roll-Ups?
To make them, simply blend fruits and add water to create a thick, pancake batter–like consistency. Experiment with different combinations. Apples, pears, bananas, and tropical fruits work great. You can also add a touch of cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, ginger, or even cayenne to the mix. Blend all ingredients and pour onto the dehydrator sheets. Dehydrate about 4 hours, flip, and dehydrate more until desired consistency is reached.
Makes: 4 servings
4 portobello mushroom caps, de-gilled with a spoon
2 cups filtered water
1/4 cup plus 3 tsp nama shoyu, coconut aminos, or wheat-free tamari
1/2 cup fresh basil, thinly sliced
2 tsp minced garlic
1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp olive oil
Pinch sea salt
Pinch ground black pepper
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp stone-ground mustard
2 tsp maple syrup, optional
1 bunch asparagus (or enough for 4 servings)
1/2 medium red bell pepper, seeds and ribs removed, and diced
1/2 medium yellow or orange bell pepper, seeds and ribs removed, and diced
Slice mushrooms in 1/2 inch slices and place in a large baking pan on their side. Add water and 1/4 cup nama shoyu and marinate in a dehydrator at 145°F for 30 minutes. Remove and strain out marinade, reserving 1/2 cup.
In a small mixing bowl, combine basil, garlic, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tsp nama shoyu, salt, and black pepper; stir well. Turn mushrooms over and evenly distribute basil mixture on top.
To a cup or small mixing bowl, add remaining 2 Tbsp oil, vinegar, mustard, maple syrup, and remaining 1 tsp nama shoyu and stir until well combined.
Bend ends of each asparagus stalk, and they will naturally break off at the exact place necessary. Place asparagus in a dish or pan. Cover with balsamic marinade.
Place a dehydrator tray in the dehydrator to hold the dish. Dehydrate at 145°F for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
Add remaining 1/2 cup marinade to the bottom of the mushroom pan and place in dehydrator along with asparagus. Dehydrate at 145°F for 45 to 60 minutes.
Arrange asparagus and mushrooms on plates and sprinkle with red and yellow bell peppers.
