Here’s a raw take on an Italian classic. If you have other spices that you enjoy in your tomato sauce, feel free to add them. Oregano, paprika, and garlic powder make excellent additions to the sauce.
Note: The picture shows zucchini rolls, which is another way to make this dish. You just have to slice the zucchini/squash lengthwise instead of into rounds.
