Spaghetti & "No Meat" Balls (RAW)

It's Nida's Tuesday Raw Post Time! Here's an amazing raw and vegan no meat spaghetti and meatballs recipe! Who woulda thought! Love it! W.P

Oh boy, I have been hankering for comfort foods, and that usually involves pastas, potatoes, breads (you know, all the bad stuff LOL). So before I jumped off the edge of a cliff into a bottomless pit of breads, I did a little searching and I came across this recipe and thought it was easy, no dehydrator required if you have a toaster oven or regular oven and looks delicious! If you haven't already purchased a spiralizer ($30 on Amazon) its well worth the small investment. You can also purchase vegan meatballs if you're in a pinch for time, and substitute it for the raw. Make extra sauce and freeze it to have ready for the next time!

What You Need:

Meatballs
1 cup of soaked walnuts (soaked for approx 2 hours – then drained and rinsed)
1 cup of chopped and drained marinated mushrooms (reserve marinade)  - marinated in 2 T nama shoyu, 2 T olive oil, pinch of black pepper and I garlic clove. Cover in refrigerator for 1 hour.
1 T lemon juice
1 T nama shoyu/coconut aminos
1 T Italian seasoning
1 T chilli pepper flakes
1/2 t cumin
10 sundried tomatoes refreshed in water and drained – reserve soak water

How to:

Place all ingredients in food processor fitted with an S blade and process until forms a thick paste. Try and leave some chucks for a meatier texture. If you need extra moisture use some of the reserve marinade or soak water to get the blade moving. You want the mixture to be able to be formed into balls reminiscent of meatballs. Made into desired meatball size and place on the mesh sheet in the dehydrator at 110′ for 8 – 12 hours
