Zuchinni Pasta: Cut the zucchini into thin noodles using a vegetable spiral slicer.
Marinara Sauce: Put all the ingredients in a food processor fitted with the S blade and process until smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the work bowl with a rubber spatula. Stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator, Marinara Sauce will keep for 3 days. To make Puttanesca Sauce, increase the cayenne to 1⁄8 teaspoon. Then stir 2 tablespoons of thinly sliced blackolives into the finished sauce.
Not Meatballs: Put the walnuts, lemon juice, oil, tamari, garlic powder, and salt in a food processor fitted with the S blade and process into a paste, stopping occasionally to scrape down the work bowl with a rubber spatula. Transfer to a small bowl. Stir in the onion and parsley until well combined. Use 1/3 cup pâté to form into 2 or 3 balls. Cover each ball with a thin coating of the sauce.
Add Not Meatballs and sauce to pasta and enjoy!
