RAW SPAGHETTI + VEGETABLE PASTA
Eat fresh and clean with this Raw Spaghetti + Vegetable Pasta featuring spiralized noodles, raw marinara sauce and colorful veggies for a light, refreshing and easy to make lunch or dinner! Vegan, low-fat + gluten-free recipe.
We can all benefit from a raw meal at least once a day, whether it’s a salad or something like this raw vegetable pasta. Adding a fresh, raw dish to your daily meal plan is good for your system in countless ways.
So with some marina’raw’ sauce I had left over from a previous recipe, I decided to put together this raw vegetable pasta dish.
- I started with just the usual zucchini ‘noodles’ and decided to try some cucumber ‘noodles’ as well. Turned out to be a nice combo!
- The mushrooms, bell peppers, carrots and green onions I happen to have on hand and the result was a complete success.
- Finally adding a layer of almond parmesan over top will take this to the next level while adding protein, it’s delicious!
This raw pasta dish is simple, gluten-free and refreshingly filling!

How To Make Raw Spaghetti + Vegetable Pasta
(Note – The full printable recipe is at the bottom of this post)
- Make the sauce. The raw tomato sauce is super easy to make and only takes 5 minutes. It can also be made ahead of time.
- Spiralize. Spiralize the zucchini and cucumber, set aside. You can also julienne by hand or use a julienne tool, but the spiralizer (affiliate link) is really fun and easy. I highly recommend having one if you make raw noodles often.
- Prep the veggies. Dice up your veggies, using as much as you like.
- Assemble the pasta dish. You can either mix everything together in a separate bowl and transfer to individual serving dishes, or you can serve and mix right in your serving dish.
Top Tips
- Use jar bottle sauce for ease, it just won’t be 100% raw, but still delicious!
- Add a serving of this Walnut Meat overtop for a change.
How To Store + Meal Prep
- Refrigerator: Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The zucchini and cucumber noodles will sweat a bit, but will hold up well stored in a covered container.
- Meal prep: When meal prepping, you can keep the veggies and sauce store separate or toss it all together before portioning into a covered container.
Serving Suggestions
- Top with sliced green onions, fresh herbs of choice, mineral salt & cracked pepper to taste.
- I love it with a good dusting of Almond Parmesan!

- Total Time: 15 min
- Yield: Serves 2
- Category: Entree
- Cuisine: Italian
- Diet: Vegan
Ingredients
- 1 large zucchini, spiralized or julienned
- 1 large cucumber, spiralized or julienned
- 1 cup mushrooms, diced
- 1/2 each red & yellow bell pepper, diced
- 1 – 2 carrots, diced
- 1 – 2 scallions, sliced
- fresh chopped basil or parsley (optional)
- mineral salt & cracked pepper, to taste
- red pepper flakes, to serve
- 1 batch Raw Marinara Sauce
Instructions
Vegetable Noodles: Spiralize the zucchini and cucumber, set aside. You can also julienne by hand or use a julienne tool, but the spiralizer (affiliate link) is really fun and easy. I highly recommend having one if you make raw noodles often.
Prep veggies: Dice up your veggies, using as much as you like.
Assemble: You can either mix everything together in a separate bowl and transfer to individual serving dishes, or you can serve and mix right in your serving dish.
Top with sliced green onions, fresh herbs of choice, mineral salt & cracked pepper to taste. It’s extra Aaamazing topped with a dusting of Almond Parmesan!
Serves 2
Notes
Depending on the size, I generally use 1 zucchini & 1 cucumber per person. You can use half of each if they are on the larger side but even then it won’t hurt to have a little extra on your plate.
You could also use raw walnut meat with this as well. The nut meat is a combination of walnuts and mushrooms and is really delicious!
This could easily be prepared for to go lunches. Make a batch of the marina’raw’ sauce, cut up some vegetables and store for quick access to preparing a ‘to-go meal’ or anytime when you’re at home. A little preparation goes a long way. The sauce will last up to 5 – 6 days and the fresh chopped veggies should last about the same.
If you’re in a pinch, try subbing in bottled organic tomato sauce of choice. It won’t be considered 100% raw but it will still be delicious!

Welcome to my blog Tina! I have a few raw pasta dishes you may like. Have a look around and give them a try along with anything else that calls to you. If you have any questions just ask. Enjoy :)
Just made this. Delicious!
Great question, and thank you for the compliment ! I use and recommend the Paderno Spirooli, it's on Amazon for around $50.00, I honestly don't remember paying that much for it but it's worth it. You really can do a lot with it so it is a useful tool and super easy to use. If you’re looking to save some money, the Joyce Chen spiral slicer may be a good value at $24.95 on Amazon. I haven't used that one so I honestly can't vouge for it but it's much more simpler without the many features.
I will put the link to the spiralizer I use at the bottom of my recipe too…
I may have to do a blog post for the spiralizer and other tools. Thanks for the inspiration ! :)
How do you "spiralize" cucumbers and squash? Your dish looks so pretty and perfect!
