Raw Food Recipe: Spaghetti and “Meat” Balls
This is actually one of my favorite raw food recipes. When I was in the middle of my Raw 21 challenge, I was craving spaghetti and set out to make a filling raw food recipe. The marinara sauce keeps for days in the refrigerator and the “sausage” keeps for months in the freezer. You can make a big batch and enjoy it for quite a few meals! Raw on the fly! It is a great recipe for your spiral slicer, too!

- 1 large clove garlic
- 1 teaspoon oregano (dried)
- 1 teaspoon basil (dried)
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Soak tomatoes in water until soft.

Assembly
- 2 yellow zucchini

- Marinara Sauce
- Put zucchini through spiralizer. Set in colander for 20 minutes to let water drain off.
- Top with sauce and “sausage”
*Chef’s Note: I topped this with grated pine nuts for a little extra flavor. I also like to warm this in the dehydrator prior to serving.

Hi Susan,
You have some of the most interesting and tasty RAW foods! Where did you learn to prepare these tasty dishes? I do know that there’s a culinary school just for those who choose to eat raw. I’m just now starting on my raw journey and was at a loss for good recipes until I ran into your website. I did cheat and printed one of your recipes and tried it out for size and I just loved it. I must say, you’re doing the darn thing!

Until it is warm. 20-30 minutes depending on how thick you have stacked it, etc. Cheers!
