Why adopt zucchini noodles in raw cuisine ?

Zucchini is one of the mildest, most hydrating, and digestible vegetables in raw plant-based cuisine. It serves as an ideal alternative to traditional pasta for those who wish to:

  • lighten their digestion
  • reduce the glycemic load of their meals
  • support their excretory organs (kidneys, liver, skin)
  • maintain a rich mineral intake without excessive caloric load

Very rich in water (over 95%), zucchini naturally promotes the elimination of metabolic waste. It is diuretic, alkalizing, remineralizing, and rich in protective antioxidants.

Paired with a basil and nut cream, it becomes a complete, nourishing, and deeply rejuvenating dish.

The health benefits of raw zucchini

Deep cellular hydration

Thanks to its exceptional content of biologically structured water, zucchini contributes to intracellular hydration — much more effective than water alone.

A gentle draining action

Its richness in potassium supports kidney function and the elimination of uric acid, excess sodium, and nitrogenous waste.

An alkalizing vegetable

Ideal in an acid-base rebalancing approach, it helps to limit underlying inflammation.

A source of antioxidants

Vitamin C, lutein, zeaxanthin: zucchini protects the skin, eyes, and slows down oxidative stress.

Basil: a protector of the nervous system

Fresh basil is not just a simple herb:

  • it is anti-inflammatory
  • slightly sedative
  • digestif
  • liver protector
  • rich in flavonoids and essential oils

It supports mental clarity, the immune system, and emotional balance — a valuable ally during times of fatigue or nervous overload.

Why add spinach to the cream ?

Raw spinach leaves provide:

  • chlorophyll (cellular oxygenation)
  • Plant-based iron
  • magnesium
  • folates (vitamin B9)

They enhance the remineralizing value of the cream while softening the taste of basil.

Oilseeds: The Nourishing Structure of the Dish

  • Soaked nuts: Rich in omega-3, they support the brain, concentration, and nervous balance. Soaking them improves their digestibility and releases their minerals.
  • Pine nuts: Source of zinc and essential fatty acids, they support theimmunity and cellular energy, while adding a sweet and resinous note to the cream.
  • Virgin olive oil: Rich in antioxidant polyphenols, it protects the cardiovascular system and helps reduce underlying inflammation.
  • Seed coats of psyllium : Soft prebiotic fibers, they structure the sauce, nourish the microbiota, and improve digestive comfort without irritating sensitive intestines.

Ingredients

For vegetable spaghetti

  • 2 organic zucchinis
  • 1 spiralizer or peeler

For the basil cream

  • 60 g of spinach leaves
  • 40 g of fresh basil
  • 60 g of nuts soaked (minimum 4 hours)
  • 25 g of pine nuts
  • 1 tablespoon of psyllium husks
  • 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 tablespoon of marine plasma

  • A dash of lemon juice (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons of micro-filtered seawater

Preparation

Step 1 — Prepare the spaghetti

Wash the zucchinis, then create long strands using a spiralizer or a peeler. Set aside in a large salad bowl.

Step 2 — Whip the cream

In a blender, mix all the cream ingredients until you achieve a smooth and coating texture.

Step 3 — Assembly

Pour the cream over the zucchini, mix gently, and let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the psyllium to naturally thicken.
