Sweet Potato Pasta?

[stevenpiziks]

One of the veggie substitutes for pasta I found is made of sweet potato cut into spiral shapes.

I chopped up a sweet red pepper and sauteed it with onions and minced garlic, then added jarred spaghetti sauce.  While that was simmering, I heated up the "pasta."  Combined the two and topped with a bit of grated Asiago.

I wasn't sure this would work--I don't like spaghetti squash, for example--but it completely did.  The sweet potato pasta had a good texture, and it tasted great. The beefed-up sauce was really good with it.  And according to my food app, that portion of the meal had fewer than 200 calories. So it's a keeper.

I'm seeing cauliflower a lot as a replacement for starches, like potatoes or rice or pasta. Mashed cauliflower in place of potato is decent enough. Let me know what the pasta is like when you try it!
