Sweet Potato Pasta Recipe
This sweet potato pasta recipe is sure to delight your family and has even won a national sweet potato recipe competition. Make these noodles with either sweet potato or yams.
Ingredients
- 1 yam or sweet potato medium size, long in shape
- 1 Tbsp grassfed butter unsalted
- 6 sage leaves preferably organic
- sea salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Wash the sweet potato (or yam) in filtered water and peel.
-
Slice lengthwise as thinly as possible. A mandoline slicer is the best tool to use. Note that a potato peeler will not result in thin enough slices to achieve the desired linguine-like texture.
-
Cut the long, thin slices into even strips about 1/4 inch wide. Set aside.
-
In a large saute pan, melt butter on medium-low heat and add the sage leaves. Watch the butter closely as the sage begins to brown (you do not want the sage to burn).
-
When the sage is crisp, remove from the pan and set aside.
-
Add the sweet potato pasta strips to the butter and heat thoroughly. Stir and toss for about 2-3 minutes.
-
When tender and warmed through, arrange the sweet potato ribbons on a serving platter and garnish with the fried sage.
-
Serve immediately alone or with desired pasta sauce.
