This is a great spaghetti substitute. You can use many kinds of vegetables for this. Some of our favorites are raw: zucchini, squashes, or carrots. Also try a mix of several kinds of veggie for even more flavor!
Shred or use a vegetable slicer to create thin, noodle-like strands of zucchini and whichever other vegetables you like.
A great device for raw spaghetti is the Spirooli* – it makes long, round strands of vegetable which are exactly like pasta, and is very fast! (*If you don’t have a Spirooli, use a grater and make longer strokes, or use a potato peeler, or slice the vegetables by hand.)
Top your raw spaghetti with pesto sauce (recipe below) or use crushed or chopped tomatoes, basil, garlic, olive oil and Celtic sea salt.

3 large cloves garlic
2 cups fresh basil leaves, packed
