Raw Vegan Lasagne

1/2 zucchini
2 cups spinach leaves, tightly packed
1/2 cup Marinara sauce (see below)

Thinly slice the zucchini lengthwise into long, wide noodles using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Place the spinach in a food processor fitted with the S blade and pulse or process until finely chopped. Transfer to a medium bowl.

Coat the bottom of a small square container (I'm a rebel - mine was rectangular) with 2 tablespoons of the Marinara Sauce and arrange a third of the zucchini noodles in a layer over it. Top with 2 tablespoons of the Marnaria Sauce. Add a layer of half of the avocado. Top with half of the spinach and press with the rubber spatula. Repeat this layering process. A third of the zucchini and 2 tablespoons of the marnianra Sauce should remain. Layer the zucchini on top and cover with the Marinara.

Store in a sealed container in the fridge. Lasagna will keep for two days.
(makes about 1-2 servings)

Place all the ingredients in a food processor fitted with the S blade and process until smooth. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Marinara Sauce will keep for three days.

(Vegan) Double Chocolate Brownies

8 oz cocoa powder or baking chocolate (melted)
10 oz. applesauce or orange Juice (orange juice may provide better consistency)
Pinch salt
2 cups sugar
1 banana
1 1/3 c flour
Vegan chocolate chips (2 cups)

Beat above ingredients until smooth.  Pour into square pan and bake 350 for 35 minutes.  (I found baking for a bit more time necessary- you may want to check them after 35 minutes to gauge if they need more time.
