Jmp Raw Lasagna
Main
Ingredients
Base:
8 yellow organic zucchini squashes
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon Celtic or Himalayan sea salt
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
Marinara Sauce:
3 large organic tomatoes
3 ½ cups sundried tomatoes (if you purchase the ones that are dried you will have to soak for an hour or so)
1/2 cup white onion chopped
2 medium garlic cloves
3/4 teaspoon Celtic or Himalayan sea salt
1/2 cup fresh basil chopped
Ricotta Cheese:
2 cups pine nuts
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons low sodium tamari
1/2 cup water
1 medium garlic clove
Parmesan Cheese:
1 cup walnuts
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon Celtic or Himalayan sea salt
Directions
Pre-prep: Soak the pinenuts in water for 4-6 hours, and drain and rinse well.
Slice the yellow squash very thinly with a sharp knife. If you happen to have a mandolin, you could certainly use that, but it is completely not necessary. Be careful with your little fingers!
Add the squash strips to a large bowl, and add in the lemon juice, salt and Italian seasoning. Be sure to use your hands to push the ingredients throughout the squash, so that every part of the squash is marinating in the mixture. The lemon will “cook” the squash, and helps soften it up to have the consistency more like pasta noodles. Set this to the side. Ideally you would let the squash marinate on its own for at least 4-6 hours before you serve the lasagna. Be sure to mix it up gently every few hours.
Create the marinara sauce in the blender by placing the tomatoes in the blender first, and blending them with the onion, sea salt, fresh basil and garlic. Add the sundried tomatoes last, and after you have blended the rest of the ingredients, since they are of a harder consistency. They will give the sauce a nice thick consistency.
Make the ricotta cheese in the blender by first adding the lemon juice, water and tamari, then the garlic cloves and lastly the pine nuts.
To assemble, take a clean 9 x 13 inch pie tray, and start layering the strips of marinated squash, alternating with the marinara sauce and the ricotta cheese. Keep going until you use up all the material.
Garnish the top of the lasagna with the parmesan cheese, and some fresh basil leaves. Stick in the oven (which is always slightly warm), without turning it on, for at least one hour before serving. This is really amazing when it has that slightly warm temperature running through it- you don’t want it to be super cold pulled right out of the fridge. Enjoy!
