This blend of simple, wholesome ingredients will add some pizzaz to your meal, all the while keeping the freshness from plant-based ingredients.

Types of Pasta

Elevate and make a deposit on your energy levels by pairing this raw vegan sauce with vibrant raw zoodles made with a spiralizer and fresh summer squash or zucchini! Or if you prefer traditional pasta, there are several healthier alternatives to conventional pastas made with ultra processed flours, such as grain-free. No grain means made from ingredients like almond flour, vegetables, or legumes. Vegetable-based noodles are made with zucchini, spinach, or carrots, and offer a fresh and nutrient-rich alternative to pure flour. Legume-based pastas are made from chickpeas or lentils and are popular these days for their high protein and fiber.

Whichever pasta style you choose, this highly nutritious sauce is sure to satisfy because it only includes simple ingredients like ripened tomatoes, zesty herbs, and a medley of colorful vegetables, all blended to perfection. Every forkful will deliver an explosion of taste that is packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Whatever you do, skip the dead and lifeless acidic jars of "ragoo" and add more life to your bowl!

And just as clean, whole foods can revive our body, God's Word is clean and perfect, and revives the soul. God's Word is sweeter than honey! 👇

The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; the precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey, and drippings of the honeycomb. ~Psalm of David 19:7-10
