RAW 5-MINUTE SPAGHETTI RECIPE
I love this version of raw spaghetti because it’s so quick to make. The addition of the walnuts at the last minute give a lovely hearty texture without having to wait for dehydrated raw vegan meatballs. Serve this with a fresh green salad for a satisfying meal that almost anyone will love — raw or not.

Found in: Raw Easy Entrees, Raw Savory Sauces and Condiments, International Flavors
INGREDIENTS
SPAGHETTI SAUCE
- 1/2 cup fresh tomatoes (chopped)
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped and pre-soaked in olive oil)
- 1/3 cup walnuts
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
NOODLES
- 1 zucchini
~ USE METRIC / 1 SERVING
Recipe Directions
- Add both kinds of tomatoes and the salt to your food processor. Pulse briefly to incorporate. (Do not over-process, it’s nice to leave this raw recipe a bit chunky.) 5 seconds should do it.
- Add the walnuts, and pulse very briefly again. Perhaps 8 seconds will do it! You don’t want to overprocess, since you want to leave the walnuts in a small, round texture — similar to ground round or ground beef. (Sorry!)
- To make your noodles, peel your zucchini (remove outer green peel).
- Use a clean vegetable peeler (or a spirooli spiralizer if you have one) to slice zucchini into “noodles.”
- Assemble and enjoy!

I love this version of raw spaghetti because it’s so quick to make. The addition of the walnuts at the last minute give a lovely hearty texture without having to wait for dehydrated raw vegan meatballs.

Tip: Do not add the sauce to your noodles until you are ready to eat, because the sauce will cause your noodles to get soggy if combined too far in advance.
Tip: In order for this recipe to work well, you need to use sun-dried tomatoes that have already been soaked in oil for an extended period of time. (If you used dry sun-dried tomatoes, the sauce won’t process well and it won’t have the right consistency.)

What is a “raw vegan?” A raw vegan is someone who eats only raw fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds–none of which are ever heated above 105F (40.6 Celsius). That’s it. Raw vegan recipes include cookies, brownies, cakes, crackers, macaroni and cheese, cheesecake, and more. All made from fruit, vegetables, seeds, and nuts. No bread products, no dairy products, just raw, natural ingredients! There is a whole movement of “raw vegans” (or “raw fooders”) who invent and share creative raw food recipes. Raw vegans prepare recipes using blenders and food processors instead of ovens and microwaves! ”Like” The Rawtarian on Facebook, and visit her for more great recipe ideas at therawtarian.com
