Manicotti with Macadamia Ricotta Filling and Cherry Tomato Marinara
You can homogenize your own nuts for this recipe, but try a thick, raw Cashew-Macadamia Nut butter. Recipe is from www.gliving/greenchefs.com by Vanessa Sherwood. Serves about 4.
  • 2 cups raw Cashew-Macadamia nut butter, thick
  • 2 tsp. Mellow White Miso
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp. fresh basil
  • 1 tbsp. fresh oregano
  • 1 tbsp. onion powder
  • 1 cup spinach, shredded
  • 1 1/2 tsp. Himalayan Crystal salt
  • 2 1/2 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup Sun Dried tomatoes, soaked
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 tsp. dried oregano
  • 2 tsp. dried basil
  • 2 tsp. Agave syrup
  • 2 - 3 large zucchini
  1. Place nut butter in food processor with miso, 4 cloves garlic, fresh basil and oregano, onion powder, and 1/2 tsp. salt. Process until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and add spinach and stir.
  2. Slice zucchini into paper thin strips about 6 inches long. Take 3 strips zucchini and overlap them, making a wider sheet to work with. It should be about 3X6 inches. Make as many as you can until you use up the zucchini. Spoon 2-3 tbsp. of ricotta mixture onto zucchini slices and roll them up.
  3. Make marinara by placing tomatoes, olive oil, 1 clove garlic, dried oregano and basil, agave, and 1tsp. salt onto food processor and process until smooth.
  4. Spread marinara sauce on plate and top with 2 manicottis.
