PREPARATION

1. To prepare the veggies: slice the the mushrooms and tomato and put in a bowl. Throw the tamari (and oil, if using) on them and mix in with your hands until evenly covered. Put in the dehydrator or oven – at it’s lowest temperature – to marinate while you make the other stuff.
2. To make the pesto: pulse all the ingredients in your food processor until it becomes a pesto-like consistency, adding water or other liquid as needed. Put in a bowl and set aside.
3. To make the tomato spread: blend all the ingredients in your food processor until it’s pretty smooth and the tomatoes are in small pieces and have started turning the mixture reddish, adding water or other liquid as needed.
4. To make the noodles: slice the zucchini on a mandolin into thin pieces.
5. Assembly: lay two noodles beside each other, slightly overlapping and layer with all the good stuff you just made. Top it off with olives and chives.
