If you're familiar with the chain, their Penne Rosa sauce IMO is wonderful here is a raw version modified by Yours Truly.
Pene Rosa a la Cruda
1/4 cup of fresh, organic, sunripe tomatoes, robusto, pureed
Spring onions, sliced paper thin
2 cloves fresh garlic, chopped
Crushed Organic chili flakes to taste
1/4 cup Organic button mushrooms soaked in water
2 Tbsp Raw Grassfed cream
Stone pressed Organic Olive oil
Organic Balsamic
Redmond's Real Salt to taste
1 bunch fresh Organic Sweet Italian basil leaves, minced
3-10 spears of fresh wild asparagus or thin spears (tender, younger shoots) minced
Shaved, Raw, aged hard cheese, similar to asiago/parmesan
Chop garlic, slice the onions and mushrooms, de-stem basil, mince and set aside.
Drizzle olive oil and balsamic on asparagus. Toss well.
Warm in double boiler or in wide mouthed container placed 100F water. Add the olive oil, garlic, mushrooms and spring onions. Stir well. Add tomato puree, salt, crushed chile flakes and fresh sliced basil. Garnish with asparagus and shaved cheese.
Good on shredded, raw, slightly dried fowl meat! yumsky! I would probably be good on raw, shredded yam or sunchoke.
