Hot Pink Spaghetti Alfredo


For this recipe you're going to need a spiral vegetable slicer. You can find them all over the net and at Bed Bath and Beyond type stores. If you've got enough patience and skill you can make noodles with a vegetable peeler, but spiral slicers aren't too expensive so they're worth looking into. the one on the left is available on the net.

Spiralize the following
  • 2 beets, zucchini, squash, 1 turnip, or 1 garnet yam (i used chiogga beets)
Toss in a large mixing bowl along with a few pinches of
  • celtic sea salt
After tossing for a few minutes cover with heavy plates to smoosh the beet noodles. This procedure can be used on most starchy vegetables with the same results: the noodles become softer and tastier.

Next blend
  • 5 macadamias
  • 5 brazil nuts
  • 1/8 cup water
  • 5+ leaves fresh basil
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 dates
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • pinch sea salt
Once sauce has become smooth and creamy drain water from beets and pour on the sauce! Top with
  • 1/4 small onion, chopped
  • 1/4 small red pepper, chopped
  • handful of sprouts
  • pomegranate seeds to garnish
Enjoy!
