Ingredients

  • 1 Tomato
  • 1 Deseeded Red Pepper
  • 5 Baby Carrots
  • 2 Tbsp Dried Basil (fresh is great but I didn’t have it)
  • 1 Tsp Dried Oregano
  • Tiny pinch of salt or more to taste
  • Twist of Black Pepper
  • Optional: 1 Medjool date and/or 1 Tsp Agave and/or Stevia to taste (I used the date and 1 Tsp agave because remember your grandmother who added a dash of sugar to make the marinara sauce taste better? Same premise here.)
  • Optional: Garlic, onions, mushrooms, 1-2 Tbsp EVOO or another oil such as flax or hemp. If you use the drizzle-in-while-appliance-is-running method, that’s awesome. As a VitaLover, I have a hard time with that because I don’t want red sauce spraying every
  • Optional Add-In’s & Extras:
  • Mushrooms
  • Tofu Meatballs/Sausage
  • Nut/Bean “Burger” Pieces
  • Real Beef or Turkey Meatballs for that non-vegetarian in your life

Directions

  1. Spiralize 1 or 2 zukes.

  2. Combine All the Ingredients.

  3. Grind, Blend, or Food Process your Ingredients into Red Sauce.

  4. Leave it as chunky or as smooth as you like.

  5. I like it fairly chunky.
