Raw Zucchini Ravioli with Spinach Cashew Filling
Happy Raw Wednesday everyone! I have had quite the over-abundance of summer squash this year, due to my garden; so, I have been given the opportunity to try out many different ways of preparing them. This refreshing meal is made up of crisp squash slices encompassing a creamy spinach filling and topped with a tomato sauce made with homegrown basil.
Recipe (serves 2-3)
Spinach Cashew Filling:
1 1/2 Cup Soaked Raw Cashews
2 Cups Fresh Spinach
3 Cloves Garlic
1/4 Cup Nutritional Yeast
1/2 tsp. Sea Salt
Squeeze of Lemon Juice
3/4-1 Cup of Water
Directions:
-Put all ingredients in blender or food processor and blend/pulse until pretty smooth, adjusting how much water to put in with how smooth you want it. Place in refrigerator while preparing the rest of the meal.

Zucchini/Summer Squash Ravioli
1 Small, Wide Zucchini
Directions:
-Slice the zucchini into thin medallions, around 1/8”-1/4” thick. Lie one slice down, place some spinach filling on top and set another slice down on top of it.

Tomato Basil Sauce
2 Medium-Sized Tomatoes, chopped
1 Tbsp. Diced White Onion
2 Cloves of Garlic
1 Heaping Tbsp. Fresh Basil, minced
Salt & Pepper to taste
(Optional: 2 Tbsp. Sun-dried tomatoes, this really would’ve made this sauce great but I didn’t have any on hand)
Directions:
-Place all ingredients into a food processor and pulse until it is well combined, but not completely pureed; you want the sauce to be a little chunky. Top your raviolis with the sauce and enjoy!
