This recipe is inspired by Kajo – true RAW eater! Thanks! What I find most exciting about RAW is the way how all the ingredients are open for experiments, unusual combinations of flavours … For this “zucchini pasta” I chose a combination of carrot pesto and marinated mushrooms. And it was just perfect!
