How to: Blend everything till smooth. Add tomato soak water if you want the sauce thinner. Toss with "spaghetti" and serve with savory nut balls.

Savory Nut Balls
How to: Process everything in a food processor. Add a little water if needed. Lay a piece of parchment paper on the table, put your burger mixture on top, get another piece of parchment and put it on top of the mixture, using a rolling pin or the palms of your hand, roll the dough to 1/2 inch thickness. Then using a cookie cutter or a cup cut out patty shapes, and place the patties on teflex sheets, dehydrate in the Excalibur Dehydrator for 2 hours at 145 degrees (only in the excalibur at this temperature). Then bring the temp. down to 115 degrees and continue to dehydrate until a desired consistency.
