Raw "Pasta"

 
Sometimes I get a craving for a "pasta" dish without the grains and carbs.  
Pasta itself is not really all that flavorful....   It is the sauces, the add ins, and the heaviness that most of us *Crave*!

Zucchini is an excellent "pasta"  when it is sliced into thin pieces with a mandolin.  
I like to toss with olive oil, fresh veggies, black olives, red pepper, salt and pepper and - of course-  fresh herbs.  (the herbs can really take it up a notch)   Try basil, parsley, cilantro - whatever you favor. 

I usually experiment with whatever is in my fridge or at the farmer's market.  no need for a recipe... just follow your growling tummy to create your own  raw "pasta" dish.   Toss it all in a bowl and serve it up room temperature to bring out the flavors.

Enjoy !
you can do Raw -  it is easy.
