Recipe Directions

1. Put the 1/4 cup of olive oil, tamari sauce, lemon juice and water in a jar and soak the mushrooms and onions. Slice the avocado and set aside.

2. Put the rest of the ingredients, except the zucchini, in a blender and blend until smooth.

3. Take the zucchini and put through the Saladacco or Spirooli. You can also just peel the zucchini to make fettuccine if you don’t have the Saladacco. It tastes just as good but the presentation is more impressive when you make the noodles.

4. Run the blender until the sauce is a little warm (not over 118 F).

5. Pour over the noodles and top with the mushrooms and onions and slices of avocado (I just grab (sloppily) the mushrooms and onions out with a fork so as a little of the marinade splashes into the mix for a nice touch, but you don’t want too much of it).

Rawozzy's Thoughts

By rawozzy

This is an evolution from a basic marinara sauce that just didn’t taste very good.

I had to work hard to come up with a recipe that my cooked family would enjoy with me. This is what I came up with.

Even my cooked friends have asked me for the recipe.

I have have found that this dish tastes so much better if you use the jar kind of sun-dried tomatoes soaking in olive oil. Trust me, I have used the kind that you have to soak in water and it just doesn’t taste the same.

Don’t be overwhelmed by this recipe. It is very easy.

The sauce is awesome! I love this dish. Especially warming the sauce just a little in the moch vitamix (I have the healthmaster 100 by Jack Lalanne). My husband loved the dish as well. I will make it again and again.

123, just wondering where you watcher Cheria Soria make the noodles? Does she have a video!

Rawozzy, can hardly wait to make this! I dehydrate my own tomatoes with olive oil and fresh herbs, so this will be a grand way to use them! Thank you!

I just watched Cheria Soria make zucchini noodles. She sprinkles the "noodles" with seasalt until they soften and release their water, 30 minutes or so. She saves the liquid for other recipes. She also peels the zucchini saving the peels to make them more noodle-like in appearance. The noodles look more like their cooked counterparts. Has anyone tried this?

Yesterday I made my own sundried tomatoes in the dehydrator. Before I went to bed I cut up 5 roma tomatoes and dehydrated them until the next day around dinner time. I brushed them with olive oil and some italian seasoning. Boy were they yummy. I added them to the marinara sauce and it was delicious.

You could soak the sundried tomatoes and just use some seasoned olive oil. I have tried to make this dish with the sundried tomatoes that are not soaking in the olive oil and it just isn't the same for me. I get my sundried tomatos from whole foods.

I'm going to try this recipe tomorrow. I just can't seem to find organic sundried tomatoes soaked in a jar or olive oil. The only ones I found are the organic dry ones in a bag. What do you suggest I do with the dry ones?

Oh My Gosh. I love this sauce. You are right about the sun dried tomatoes. I have tried several other sauce receipes and I have thought that they had a funny taste because of the sundried tomatoes. I also think the pepper gave it a lot of flavor. And the mushrooms and onions on top really gave it a nice taste. This is a new favorite!!!

Hello chancy.. glad you like my recipe. You could try less olive oil if you like.. just play with the amounts.. or perhaps you could use avocado instead. I am sure it will still be as good.

I just joined today and this was the first recipe I tried and boy was it excellent. I have to get one of those tools to create noodles from the zuchini. My only concern was the amount of olive oil used. Is there a way to make it with a little less olive oil and still have the awesome flavor. Any suggestions would be welcomed. God Bless. Roy
