Raw Zuchetti Alfredo (with Marinated Mushrooms)

Start by marinating the mushrooms:
3 cups sliced mini portobello mushrooms
¼ cup organic extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons Bragg’s Liquid Aminos (soy sauce alternative) 
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
3 minced garlic cloves (as finely as possible)

Action:
Mix liquid ingredients and garlic as well as possible then add mushrooms, cover, and let sit in the 
refrigerator for at least one hour. Let the mushrooms marinate overnight for the best flavor results.

Alfredo Sauce: 
2 cups raw unsoaked cashews
½ cup pine nuts (use more cashews if pine nuts not available)
Juice of 1 Lemon
¼ cup olive oil
1 ½ cups water (less water for a thicker sauce)
6 garlic gloves
1 shallot
¼ cup parsley
¼ cup basil
½ cup nutritional yeast (more of you want it cheesier)
1 tablespoon white pepper (black pepper works as well)
1 tablespoon Himalayan salt
1 dash of cayenne pepper

Action: 
Process cashews and pine nuts first then add all other ingredients and process until it is a creamy sauce consistency.
Zucchini Spaghetti:
Put 2 LARGE ZUCCHINIS through a pasta maker and place in the bowl you would like to serve from!
*Use a vegetable peeler if you don’t have a pasta maker
FINISHING UP:
1. Place the “Zucchetti” into a serving bowl.
2. Put marinated mushrooms on top of zucchetti.
3. Pour sauce on top of both and mix!
4. Garnish with fresh parsley and ENJOY!
*If you don’t like mushrooms, you can skip that part of the recipe and it is still delicious. If you are just not into raw mushrooms, you could always steam them before marinating!
