Plantain Pasta w/Spicy Sweet Marinara

Pasta 

Get a spotted black plantain - not too black or it will be too mushy to spiralize.

Spiralize to get noodles.  Put any remaining plantain - core and last bit that won't spiralize - into blender with rest of marinara ingredients.

Marinara

1 mango
2 dates
1/2 large red pepper, deribbed and seeded
4 leaves of mint
leftover plantain bits from spiralizing - core and bottom 1 inch of plantain
1/2 inch of serrano pepper, optional

Really nice flavors and just melts in the mouth.

5 romaine leaves
handful of spinach
1/2 a mango
1 cup cilantro leaves

15 cherries, pits removed
