Ingredients for the Pasta
1 whole zucchini, halved and thinly sliced with a mandolin

Sea salt and pepper, to taste

1 ½ cups cashews, soaked
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp water
½ tbsp lemon zest
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
½ tsp sea salt

1 tbsp fresh parsley

Method
In a food processor, blend the cashews, lemon juice and zest, nutritional yeast and salt until smooth.
Transfer the mixture into a bowl and fold in the minced onions and parsley.
Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed.
Note: The filling should have the consistency of ricotta cheese.

Ingredients for the Basil-Pistachio Pesto

¼ cup spinach leaves
¼ cup pistachios
2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/8 tsp sea salt
½ tsp lemon juice
Pinch freshly ground black pepper

1 cup olive oil
¼ cup spinach leaves
¼ cup fresh basil leaves (or herb of choice)
Pinch sea salt

Layer two slices of zucchini pasta on the bottom.
Spread red pepper marinara on top of the pasta.
Top with another two pieces of zucchini pasta.
Add cashew ricotta and basil-pistachio pesto.
Top with slices of fresh tomato.
