Raw Vegan Bolognese is healthy, fresh, and totally delicious.
This version of Spaghetti Bolognese is made with raw zucchini noodles, a spiced walnut-veggie sauce, and cashew parmesan. Raw Vegan Bolognese has an amazing texture, and is packed with flavor – you won’t believe it’s all raw. It’s a great meal for summer times, because it’s light, refreshing, and you don’t need to turn on the oven or the stovetop to make it.
This sauce is so so so good. So please make it!
Chopped walnuts, parsnip, and carrots are the base of this incredible sauce. It’s all covered with a chili-garlic-herb tomato sauce, then topped with Vegan Parmesan. Probably that all sound super boring, but trust me, the flavors work together so well.
You don’t have to be into healthy or raw foods to appreciate it though. So feel free to cook some regular spaghetti and serve the sauce that way.
Either way, this sauce is a total allrounder. Healthy and quick with zucchini noodles, light and fresh with regular cooked noodles. Makes a superb pizza base, and it’s amazing when spread on toast. You can also add the sauce to fries, or nachos with melty vegan cheese.
Raw Vegan Bolognese also freezes well, which means you can easily double the recipe, if you like.

This is great for the zucchini season. And anything with walnuts has got to be delicious!
Hahaha, 1000% agree with you, you can never go wrong with walnuts 😉
It looks so good! I wouldn’t have guessed is raw. I tried courgette pasta before, but I boiled it. Now that I think about, I don’t believe I had raw courgette before. Love the idea though.
I love the cooked or slightly fried version, but it’s so hot here at the moment, I don’t want to boil extra water 😀
Evi
I have some zucchini lying around and your vegan Bolognese sounds a delish and a recipe to put these on the table. I love how you have used the raw version to keep the heat away and to help with summer. Thanks for an amazing recipe and loved the clicks.
Thank you so much, I’m so glad you like the recipe 🙂
I have just restarted my raw vegan journey again after 13yrs of not feeling great. This is my first week and and I desperately needed something savory and different. Boom! This was it. 100% delicious. I didn’t have parsnips so I omitted them. And all I had was cherry tomatoes. Still absolutely amazing! This is now in my cookbook app. Thank you for posting it. 💕
Thanks for the lovely feedback, I’m so glad you enjoyed this! Good luck on your raw vegan journey 😊
