Zucchini noodles with white sauce
- Ingredients:
Noodles:
2 zucchini squash
Sauce:
1 cup cashews
3 stalks celery chopped
1 TBSP onion chopped
1 – 2 cloves garlic minced
2 TBSPS nutritional yeast (optional)
2 TBSPS thyme leaves
2 TBSPS lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 TBSP olive oil
salt & pepper to taste
pinch of cayenne (optional)
- Directions:
1. Start preparing the sauce by processing the cashews, then put in a separate bowl and set aside.
2. Next process rest of the ingredients and slowly add the ground cashews. Taste for salt and pepper.
3. Make your zucchini noodles with a julienned peeler or a regular peeler or a spiralizer. I made them with a regular peeler by inserting a chop stick on one end of the zucchini to get a better hold of it and then “peel” the noodles away from you.
4. Serve your noodles and top them with half of the sauce.
* A great addition to this dish is a topping made out of 1 part of walnuts, 2 parts of nutritional yeast and a pinch of salt, all processed until powder. Keep in an air sealed container and can be used in numerous dishes as a delicious topping.
