Alisyn's "I have a photoshoot in a week!" Spaghetti

It's true. I do. You know that singer/songwriter thing I'm doing? It's for that. I'm pumped. In order to feel my best for the occasion, I've been working out every day this week and eating as nutritiously as I can. But good lord I love me some Italian. So I decided to try and come up with a spaghetti recipe. There are things I want to experiment with (it ended up pretty soupy), but for my first attempt, this is pretty dank. And the garlic/basil/tomato/Parmesan are all present and accounted for and my craving is sated.

So! How did I do it?

Sauce:

• 5 vine ripe tomatoes
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• handfull fresh basil (you might add more to taste later)
• several leaves fresh oregano (same as basil... whatever you like)
• 3 tbsp olive oil 
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 to 1 inch jalapeno (or whatever pepper you prefer... if I could have found a red chili, I would have used that)
• spoonfull of almond butter (or any nut butter.... for more healthy fats to make it more filling ;))
• juice from half a lemon
• 2 large spoonfulls of goat cheese (I LOVE GOAT CHEESE)
• some grated Parmesan
• 2-3 tsp soy sauce

BLEND!

 lol it's orange idk

Noodles:

• Julienne 2 large zucchini (gluten free yaaaayyy)
• k, done

I then put my portion in a saucepan and warmed it up. I recommend doing this. You're not really trying to cook it, but heating it up enough to where steam comes off brings out something delightful in the garlic, zucchini, tomatoes, etc. Not my rawest of recipes, but it's still pretty dang good.

After that.... MORE PARMESAN! ....if you want. I wanted. I'm pretty lactose intolerant, but I do cheat with certain cheeses every now and then. Hard cheeses seem to be more forgiving than soft. Who knows.

I cleaned my bowl.
