Raw-some Sandwich & Fettuccini Alfredo <3

Soooooooo for Christmas I got spoiled. I FINALLY got a food dehydrator!! While I have tons of other ideas for how I'm going to play with it, I only had room for peppers & bread this round. Anyhoo, I also got Ani Phyo's uncook books, and I LOVE them. I followed the bread recipe pretty closely, but not really for the alfredo. Both turned out fantastic. I even made another sandwich for my 14 year old brother and he LOVED it. I only wish I had had a tomato and an avocado kicking around, because they would have been fantastic in the sandwich. I did, however, use homemade salsa that a lady I work with made for me.

The addition of Victorian Epicure spice in the alfredo is from my aunt. She sells them and gave me a bunch to try, so you'll probably see them show up more often in my posts. Feel free to sub any other herbs in place of them.

Raw Fettuccini Alfredo

Ingredients:

1 zuchinni squash, peeled into strands (use a potato peeler)

Sauce:

juice of 1/2 lemon (1 tablespoon)

1 cup cashews, soaked overnight (will equal about 1 1/4 cup)

1 1/2 stalks celery, chopped

2 tablespoons chopped onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup water

2 tablespoons Victorian Epicure 3 onion dip mix (onions, chives, scallions, herbs, dried)

Directions:

1) Place peeled zuchinni strands onto a plate.

2) Mix all sauce ingredients in a food processor, and blend until smooth.

3) Pour half the sauce over zuchinni strands; the rest may be refrigerated for a few days.

4) Enjoy your raw alfredo :)
