Raw Fettuccine Alfredo
I love to create uber-healthy spins on classic recipes, especially classic recipes I used to love! Fettuccine Alfredo was one of my favorites, but as I leaned more and more towards healthier options, the classic version left me feeling bloated, lethargic and imbalanced.
I’ve added an even extra-special spin to the Raw Fettuccine Alfredo recipe I offer you here — it’s lower in fat than many ‘raw food’ versions, which means it won’t bog you down! The secret is zucchini in the sauce too! Nuts are heavy and hard to digest, but add a creamy texture, so I’ve included a little, but only just enough!
You’re likely going to giggle, like I do when I taste it, like my friends do when they taste it! It’s an awesome, low-fat, super-healthy and super-delicious spin on a popular classic! Really!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cashews, soaked overnight
- 1 small zucchini, chopped (for sauce)
- 3 small zucchini, spiralized, or peeled into thin fettuccine noodles with vegetable peeler
- 1/2 cup green peas
- 1 clove garlic, small – medium size, chopped
- 1 lemon, juice
- Sea salt, cracked black pepper, to taste
- Fresh basil, chiffonade
- Fresh oregano, minced
- Crushed red pepper, to taste
Prepare
Noodles: Spiralize zucchini and set aside
Sauce: In a high-speed blender, process cashews, small zucchini, garlic, lemon juice, salt and cracked pepper
Combine: In a large bowl, with your hands, massage the noodles and peas with the sauce
Plate: And garnish with fresh basil, oregano and crushed red pepper
Buono Appetito!

You might be thinking, “detoxification is one of the body’s most innate functions to keep it healthy, so why do I need to do a detox?” Or you might say “I don’t have time.” “I don’t like kale,” or “I like food too much to feel deprived.”
An ode to to my first hate-mail sender who “strongly voiced” her opinions of me and my staunch views against sugar.
Ever tried to get healthy, to only have someone say, “lighten up,” “go with the flow,” or “everything in moderation?”
You want to lose weight. You want to ditch sugar cravings. You want to get to look and feel amazing — and your tired of the yo-yo get-healthy struggle with no lasting success.
You must go to Sun in Bloom in Brooklyn, NY. You’ll have one the best salads you’ll ever have in your life. It’s called the Bella Divine Salad and highly recommend you go there and order it, that is if you’re in 100 mile radius of the restaurant. Everything they offer is delicious, but this is my favorite. I order it every time I go.

Someone once said to me, “You’re a self-actualizing machine.” But the context was, “You can do this get healthy thing, I can’t,” but she suffered with acute health problems and really wanted to look and feel better.
Could This Be the Best Recipe I’ve Ever Made? It’s Definitely One of Them.
I often text my clients and say, “want to look and feel amazing overnight?” When they say yes, and they always say yes, “Yep! Count me in,” or, “Definitely. I’m in,” they know what I mean = let’s do a juice day!
