“Ravish Me!” Ravioli Alfredo
Ingredients:
- 2 cups almonds, soaked and drained
- 2 cups zucchini
- 2 teaspoons Himalayan salt
- 1 clove fresh garlic
- 2 teaspoons oregano
- 1/2 cup minced sweet onion
- 1/2 cup minced bell pepper
Ingredients for Sauce:
- 2 teaspoons mellow un-pasteurized miso
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1/2 cup raw pine nuts
- 1/2 cup cashews soaked at least one hour and drained
- 1 clove fresh garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Himalayan salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup nut milk
- 1/2 cup zucchini, peeled and chopped fine
- Nutritional yeast to taste
- Parsley for garnish
Directions:
Process the ravioli ingredients (except for the sweet onion and bell pepper) together in a food processor until creamy. Transfer creamy mixture to a bowl and the sweet onion and the bell pepper by hand to the mixture. Leave large butter lettuce out long enough to wilt, remove the heavy center vein. Place 1 tablespoon of mixture into each lettuce leaf and roll to wrap up tightly to form the ravioli. Blend the Alfredo sauce ingredients except the parsley in a blender and blend until smooth. Place four raviolis on each plate and top with Alfredo sauce. Garnish all around the plate with parsley and serve. Devour!
