Celebrity Vegan Chef Jason Wrobel creates a fantastic raw vegan holiday recipe that’s a little on the lighter side. We begin by creating the sauce and you can use your favorite noodles or some spiralized squash. Dress it up with pumpkin seeds, oil, and sage leaves. Voila! Another way to use that pumpkin you’re so fond of!
