Really Good! Get ready for garlic breath if you do the 1 1/2 tsps of raw garlic in the sauce. Might want a mint after ;o)

Absolutely stunningly delicious!!! :) This is currently my favorite find at Zarr...it includes mostly every flavor I love...I both ribbon shredded and grated my veggies for textural variations and went extra on the basil and parsley because my garden is producing so much right now...even though I did almost twice the veggies I still had extra sauce doing the amounts suggested ( which was fine by me because I swear to you it is so freaking good I could drink it by the glass full) :) FILLING and so very special- Thanks LittleSpoon This is clever, creative and fantastically GOOD!! :)

This was pretty good. I find I can usually eat 2 or even 3 servings of most raw recipes, but 1 serving of this was fine for me, as this recipe makes 2 huge servings. I was lazy and decided to use my food processor to grate the carrots, zucchini, and red bell pepper. I used dried herbs instead of fresh and the sauce was tasty. I would make this again, though I don't know if I would be able to convince my boyfriend this is a meal.

Very nice! I used a mandolin slicer to julienne the carrots and zucchini. I just used zuch for the "squash" too. Thanks! Reviewed for Healthy Choices ABC tag.
