About this recipe
Kelp Noodles in Marinara Sauce Thermomix TM7 is a refreshing raw main course that proves you don't need cooking to create a deeply satisfying dinner. If you have been searching for kelp noodles recipes or a vegan marinara sauce Thermomix version, this all-in-one kitchen machine recipe delivers everything in a single bowl. The sauce is built from sun-dried tomatoes, fresh tomatoes, red peppers, carrots, celery and onion, with Medjool dates lending natural sweetness and avocado creating a creamy, velvety texture without any dairy. The TM7 handles every step: grating the carrots, chopping the vegetables and blending the sauce until silky smooth, so nothing sticks to a pan and there is barely any washing up. Kelp noodles are naturally gluten-free and low in carbohydrates, making this a light yet filling choice for a quick weeknight dinner, a warm summer lunch or meal prep for the week ahead. Serve it straight away for a crunchy noodle bite, or let it rest so the noodles soften and absorb the rich marinara flavours.
Preparation tips
- Rinse the kelp noodles thoroughly under cold water and cut them a few times with kitchen scissors so the strands are easier to toss and eat with the marinara sauce.
- Soften the dates before blending by soaking them briefly in warm water; this helps the marinara become silky without any tough pieces remaining in the sauce.
- Let the finished dish rest for a while before serving so the kelp noodles absorb the flavours of the sun-dried tomato and pepper sauce; top with extra avocado just before eating.
Recipe variations
- Spicy arrabbiata version: add a pinch of chilli flakes or half a fresh chilli to the tomato and pepper mixture before blending for a fiery marinara that pairs beautifully with the mild kelp noodles.
- Herbal pesto twist: replace half the marinara with a basil and pine nut sauce blended separately in the TM7, then swirl both sauces through the kelp noodles for a two-tone summer plate.
