Raw Pasta Marinara
This one hits all the right spots.
Go get your hands on a spiralizer & you’ll look at zucchinis and cucumbers in a whole new light. These veggies are so versatile (and filling) it’s amazing. In 2013, my gurl & I pretty much lived off this “pasta” and banana smoothies for a month ~ our fresh introduction to high raw veganism. And although these days I think it’s good to have a bit more plantbased diversity in your meals, I often return to this raw cult classic because it’s so tasty, quick to make & seems way fancier than a salad (even though it’s all the same ingredients).
Feed this to your lover or friend and, instead of falling asleep after a big pasta meal, you’ll be brimming with energy and fully satisfied!

zucchini (or try with cucumber)

Spiralize 2 medium zucchinis and place the noodles aside in a big bowl, saving the end bits to add to the blender sauce.
In the blender, combine drained sun dried tomatoes, chopped veg, a chunk of ginger, 1 garlic clove, handful of cilantro, a squeeze of half a lime & cracked black pepper ~blend til creamy~
