Kelp Noodle Pesto

No time? No problem. One of the beautiful things about raw food cuisine is that meal prep can be super quick and easy. This kelp noodle pesto pasta dish requires only a quick rinse of the noodles and a short blitz in the blender of a handful of ingredients which come together to form a zesty brazil nut butter-based pesto sauce. RFR tip: make extra and let the pesto marinate on the noodles in the fridge overnight. The next day it will be even more delicious!
