Instructions
For the Noodles
- Add all of the vegetables to a large bowl, mix, and set aside while you make the other components of the recipe.
For the Nut Balls
- In food processor, pulse almonds, walnuts, and garlic until they're in a very rough flour-like consistency. Add the spices of your choice and sea salt (cumin makes a big difference... it makes it taste like taco meat!) Then add olive oil until the mixture is crumbly, but sticks together when you shape it.
- Shape it all into nut balls and refrigerate for an hour or so. Or you can dehydrate them for 2-4 hours.
For the Sauce
- Pulse the tomato, mushrooms, basil, oregano, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and sea salt and pepper until you get a thick sauce. Add olive oil while blending until you get the consistency you want.
Assembly
- Pour sauce onto noodles and mix well, until all are coated. Serve with the nut balls. Enjoy!
