Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles from the 3 medium zucchinis and set aside in a large bowl.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half, dice the bell pepper, and julienne the carrot. Add these vegetables to the bowl with the zucchini noodles.
In a blender, combine the soaked cashews, lemon juice, garlic clove, nutritional yeast, water, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding more water if needed to reach your desired consistency.
Pour the cashew sauce over the zucchini noodles and vegetables. Gently toss to coat evenly.
Finely chop the fresh basil and garnish the pasta just before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing raw vegan zucchini pasta dish.
