MEATLESS SPAGHETTI SAUCE

I think this book should be considered a must read for everyone. It’s full of useful information. I think there are a lot of us that don’t realize the importance of the liver and exactly all it does in the body. Did you know it’s the largest organ in the body and performs over 500 jobs? The reason I’m sharing this is because I am hopefully going to be sharing some delicious recipes that are beneficial and fit right in with the guidelines of the cleanse. The gist of it is to eat LOTS of whole fresh vegetables and fruits, beans, nuts and fresh squeezed juices. No dairy (ice cream, cheeses, milk, etc.), sugar, butter or margarine, or red meat. You are allowed chicken, eggs and bread (whole wheat, rye and sourdough plus extra virgin olive oil and other cold-pressed oils.

This is a simple recipe for meatless spaghetti sauce. It was so easy and flavorful. I wouldn’t be surprised if many of you have made something similar before but here it is anyway. I don't have specific amounts for a few of the ingredients because it is really to taste. If your not sure just start on the lighter side because you can always add more.

RECIPE:

In a large skillet saute 1 onion and 4 chopped garlic cloves in about 2-3 tsp of olive oil until the onion starts to soften.

Add button mushrooms, quartered (as many as you want, I love mushrooms), 1 yellow squash, chopped, 2 large carrots, grated, pepper flakes, salt and pepper to taste, basil and italian seasoning. Continue sauteing until mushrooms start to render there juices and turn color.

Add about 1/2 cup of red wine of your choice and simmer for 3-4 minutes.

Add 1/2 cup chicken stock and 1 large can crushed tomatoes. Cover and simmer 20-30 minutes.



Serve over whole wheat noodles.

I served this with a side salad full of lots of fresh vegetables dressed with homeade Avocado Dressing which turned out really good. I'll be posting that recipe asap.
