Raw Zucchini Manicotti

We have used the best parts of the living lasagna recipe to make manicotti from http://www.rawguru.com/recipe13.html . This is much easier and still flavorful.
The next time we make this we might add a layer of spinach on top of the sauce and cheeze. 
After assembling we dehydrated at 110 for several hours to blend the flavors and heat it.

Herb Ricotta Cheeze
1 cup raw cashews
1/2 cup mac nuts
2 tbs. pine nuts
1/2 tsp. Celtic sea salt
2 tbs. lemon juice
1 tsp. fresh basil, thyme, oregano, parsley, etc..
1 cup filtered water, more or less depending on desired consistency 
How to: Combine everything in a food processor and process till smooth. Add more water to give it a ricotta cheeze consistency, add less water if too watery. When smooth, put into a glass bowl, cover it with a moist terry cloth towel and set it out for 6 hrs. at room temp. After 6 hrs. keep it refrigerated till ready to use.

Tomato Sauce
2 cups sun dried tomatoes soaked for 6 hrs.
7 roma tomatoes
4 garlic cloves
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbs. red or yellow onion
3 tbs. extra virgin olive oil
2 tbs. lemon juice
2 tsp. dried basil
1-2 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
3 pitted dates
How to: Blend everything together till smooth. Set aside.

Noodle sheets and toothpicks
4 zucchini sliced with a julienne peeler 

To assemble: overlap two sliced zucchini noodles. dab the tomato sauce along the center of the noodles. dab the cheeze in a similar way. Roll and place on a dehydrator tray lined with a sheet. Dab the sauce on top. Dehydrate until warm at 110. Dehydrate more sauce for serving.
The leftover sauce can also be frozen for later use.
