Recipes

Raw vegan »pasta« with delicious sauce

Ingredients

For the pasta (1 person):

  • about 100 g of cucumbers or
  • about 100 g of zucchini
  • or a mixture of both

Sauce:

  • about 20 g of sesame seeds
  • 1 or more bell peppers (yellow or red)
  • 1 or more tomatos
  • 1 avocado
  1. peel the cucumber and/or the zucchini. This step is optional, if you have homegrown crops, there’s no need to peel these vegetables;
  2. slice to make noodles, either with a peeler or with a raw noodle maker. No worries if you don’t have a noodle maker, I only have the peeler and the noodles turn out great;
  3. grind the sesame seeds into a pasta (tahini);
  4. slice the bell pepper, tomatos and avocado;
  5. put the grinded sesame seeds and sliced vegetables into a blender and blend to a homogenous sauce;
  6. pour the sauce over the noodles and enjoy.

Be careful with the sesame seeds – don’t put too much. Firstly, because the meal would become too fatty and thus »break« the rules of natural hygiene and the 80/10/10 ratio, second, too much of it adds bitterness to the taste of te sauce. Tip: you can switch sesame for sunflower seeds to avoid a potential bitter taste altogether.
