Shelf Life
Sauce keeps 1 day in fridge
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
Recipe Directions
- 1. 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.
- 2. 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!)
- 3. To make your noodles, peel your zucchini (remove outer green peel).
- 4. Use a clean vegetable peeler (or a spirooli spiralizer if you have one) to slice zucchini into “noodles.”
- 5. Assemble and enjoy!
The Rawtarian's Thoughts

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.
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.)

For dinner, for lunch, perhaps one day you'll have it for breakfast too. ;)
You're my kinda girl. Repetition is one of the major keys that helps me to stay healthy with minimum effort, because you get so used to making something that it becomes mindless and so easy to do. Once I get bored of something then I switch to another recipe.
And, as you've done, you can tweak it to make it different depending on what you have in the house and what you're in the mood for.

Raw 5-minute spaghetti recipe
WOW, just WOW. I am doing the raw cleanse and was very skeptical of this recipe. It is so delicious and satisfying! I will continue to make this one. So very good.

Lol - so glad you liked it ClimberGirl! I find I need recipes that really satisfy.
I myself am a skeptical one, which I think is why I got into raw in the first place, because I kept being wowed by good raw food--when it's combined in delicious ways. Much more exciting than carrot sticks :)

Dear Laura-Jane,
I made this today. I feel like I can do raw long term thanks to you! Italian is my favorite food (and pasta my down fall). Thank you! !

This was my saviour tonight! I didn't know what I wanted for dinner- but I wanted some comfort! Whipped this up in 10 mins and added some fresh basil and parsley. It was divine! this made one huge bowl of 'spag bol' and one very happy raw vegan. :)

For how long should I pre-soak the sundries tomatoes, or should I just buy it pre-soaked?

Raw 5-minute spaghetti recipe
This recipe is absolutely delicious. I will not eat Spaghetti any other way. The sauce was like I didn't even make it. It taste just like my favorite packaged brand. To know that I can make this on my own makes me super happy. This was to easy to make and I might just make it again after having it yesterday. The only thing I did was add Italian seasoning, that's it. I love love love this.

I'm allergic to walnuts, can I use something else to substitute them?

You could probably use pine nuts. They are traditionally used to make pesto (which, except for the parmesan cheese, is raw vegan; traditional pesto is a blended mix of pine nuts, fresh basil, EVOO, and parmesan) so they have a history of use over pasta in Italian cuisine. They do however have a specific flavour profile since they are harvested from pine cones (and the price can be intimidating due to the labor-intensive harvesting and extraction process, so just get a small amount to start until you know whether you enjoy them or not).

Hi Karen, you could try pecans! :)

I use pecans in place of walnuts all the time when I run out. It is a great substitution. Karen, Laura-Jane has a wonderful podcast on Nut Substitutions. You should listen to it RFP05.
