Instructions:

Noodles: 

• Wash Zucchini and Squash well.  Cut both ends.  You can grate or spiralize them.  I opted for grating, since my spirilizer broke.  
• Set aside in fridge. 

Marinara Sauce: 

• Wash cherry and roma tomatoes and put in blender.
• Wash and de-stem Swiss Red Chard, cut stems in chunks and put in blender.  Leaves can be used for a side salad.
• Peel Beet, cut in chunks and put in blender.  
• Add Basil and Sage leaves in blender. 
• De-stem Oregano Leaves and place in blender. 
• Add Dates.  
• Blend until it has a chunky texture.   
• Taste, add more fresh herbs to enhance flavor or Dates to make sweeter.  

Plating:

Put Zucchini and Summer Yellow Squash on bottom on plate.  Pour Marinara sauce on top.  Garnish with Basil Leaves.  

You will taste the freshness of basil, sweetness of zucchini/squash, beets, tomatoes and dates. 

Endulge!
