Sweet Basil with Spiralized Zucchini and Marinara Sauce

One of my favorite meals is zucchini pasta and it's a great alkaline foods recipe!

Here is a recipe from Dr Rick and Karin Dina, D.C. 

I took thier classes at Living Light Culinary Institute. 

Science of Raw Food Nutrition.

SAUCE

2 medium fresh tomatoes (2 cups chopped)

6 soaked sun dried tomatoes (1 ounce dry or 28.3 g)

½ tsp. dried oregano or other Italian spices

1 medjool or other type of date

¼ ripe avocado

PASTA

2-3 zucchinis

Directions:

Blend fresh tomatoes, spices, date, and avocado in blender, then add soaked sun dried tomatoes and blend until smooth. For a lower fat recipe, leave out avocado. For garlic lovers, add ¼ clove of fresh garlic. To make zucchini pasta, use a vegetable spiralizer. In general, for spiralizing, squash or zucchini that is younger is better, as they create softer noodles. Add the noodles to a bed of sweet basil and top with marinara sauce, chopped bell pepper, and chopped heirloom tomato.
