Alfredo sauce
- 2 1/2 cups cashews
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon thyme spice
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Noodles and fixins
- 4 large zucchinis
- 12 mushrooms (chopped)
- 20 cherry tomatoes (sliced in half)
- 1 cup green pepper (chopped)
Recipe Directions
- 1. Make a batch of raw alfredo sauce.
- 2. Spiralize your zucchini.
- 3. Chop your "primavera" vegetables by hand. You can use any vegetables that you like. But remember that simpler actually tastes better, so don't add too many types of chopped veggies. Try to use 3 types of chopped veggies max. Ideas: button mushroom, tomatoes, red onion, green pepper, broccoli, chopped cilantro, etc.
- 4. Sprinkle with a bit of pepper once done.
The Rawtarian's Thoughts

Raw pasta primavera... mimicking the taste of good old fashioned Italian pasta in a creamy pasta sauce with fresh chopped veggies. Sounds gourmet, huh? It is! But not as hard as it looks, and no advanced prep is required.
You will require a blender and a spiralizer for this recipe. The blender is required to create the alfredo sauce, and the spiralizer is needed to make the fancy noodles. Alternatively you could use kelp noodles instead of the zucchini noodles. Or if you don't have a spiralizer you can use a carrot peeler to make "noodles" out of the zucchini, but they won't look as nice as mine do :)
Also, you can make this recipe in advance, but do not actually ASSEMBLE it until you are ready to eat. So... you can make the sauce and spiralize the noodles, but keep them in the fridge separately. (Don't actually combine sauce and noodles until ready to eat because "sogginess" will occur!)
Note about alfredo sauce: If you make a full serving of the raw alfredo sauce it keeps in the fridge very well for 3-4 days. One full batch of alfredo sauce makes 4 servings of pasta. (Also, do NOT try to make a half-batch of alfredo sauce because there won't be enough volume in your blender to spin and make the sauce properly, so you really need to make a full batch of alfredo sauce.)
Another alternative sauce: If you have leftover raw ranch dressing that could work instead of the alfredo sauce.

Do you have any suggestion for mushroom substitution?

Hi Ainsley,
The mushrooms aren't integral at all - feel free to omit them entirely, or substitute for your favorite veggie, like sliced red bell pepper, celery or whatever!

what kind of spiral cutter do you use. your zucchini noodles look much thicker than the ones I get.

Hi Mike!
This is my spiralizer: http://tinyurl.com/bzrgrau (it comes with a few blades mounted underneath the unit - I always use the skinny one)

Raw pasta primavera recipe
I loved this. I just used a peeler for the zucchini. I didn't have enough zucchini, so I used two zucchini and two yellow squash.

Good thinking, Gina. A peeler is all you need! :)

Raw pasta primavera recipe
can this be made over brown rice pasta? I did try it with the zucchini and i really was surprised how much I liked it. def going to make it this way again the only thing is my noodles came out a little on the wide side cause i used a peeler lol. But would like to have other options. Thank You so much.

Hi Linda,
I am sure it would taste good over brown rice pasta, but it would not be considered raw. However, if you are okay with that then go for it!

Raw pasta primavera recipe
Thank you so much for these down to earth and not over ridiculous fancy recipes. These are basic and simple recipes that you can find the ingredients to at any local store. It saves money, time, stress and energy. I'm a mother of three and stay at home. I had to shop here, here, here, and there. Trying to find a way to be healthy, without compromising one of the above issues! I was pulling my hair out trying to find simplicity! Thanks for lifting one of my heaviest burdens by sharing these recipes.
