Mushroom Alfredo with Zucchini Linguini

A bit colder today so I decided to make a heavier meal. This recipe is adapted from one by Renee Loux Underkoffler's book "Living Cuisine" (my favourite raw food prep book).

A creamy alfredo sauce over marinated mushrooms and zucchini cut linguini noodles - yum...

Marinated Mushrooms

• 2C of sliced mushrooms (for this recipe I used crimini)
• 3T Olive oil
• 2.5T Nama shoyu
• 2.5T Apple Cider Vinegar
• 2 Cloves of Garlic minced

Mix Mushrooms with marinade and let sit while you make Alfredo sauce and and Zucchini Noodles. Can be made up to a day in advance (let mushrooms sit over night if you have time).

Alfredo Sauce

• 1C Raw Cashews (soak first for up to an hour in fresh water then drain)
• 1/2C Macademia Nuts
• 4T Olive Oil
• 1/2C Lime Juice
• 2 Cloves Garlic
• 4T Nutritional Yeast
• 1C Water
• 1/4 Parsley chopped
• Pinch of sea salt

Put all in a high speed blender and whip until smooth and creamy. Should be thick and creamy but pourable. MIx with marinated mushrooms (drain off marinade first) and pour over zucchini linguini.
