Zucchini Pasta or Fresh Noodles
Roasted sweet potato asparagus pasta is light and fresh! This recipe uses the summer's zucchini as a noodle, and has a comfort food bite of sweet potato. I know, I enjoy sweet potato year round, but sweet potatoes are generally a cool weather thing for me. They kinda go along with all the autumn and winter squash.
I learned how to use the mandoline and the spiralizer during Chef Mark Reinfeld's vegan chef immersion course. I have since used the mandoline often with a client, and the spiralizer is my new favorite tool in my own kitchen.
I could eat this spiralized noodle dish weekly, all summer long!

I love how thickly you cut the zuccinni in this recipe, I don't think I've tried out that section of my spiralizer yet. It looks so fresh, healthy, and tasty! You're going to love that kitchen tool, it's very awesome and fun to use too. And happy early birthday. 🙂

I'm definitely a sweet-potatoes-in-the-fall sort of gal too. I've never tried veggie noodles, but don't think I haven't eyed a spiralizer and dreamed of it...
spabettie says
I actually don't think I had them before my cooking class... unless it was at a restaurant... but I LOVE this thing!
