I love pasta. Spaghetti noodles of ALL TYPE. This was my first time using veggie noodles as an alternative-and it DOES NOT disappoint! We were satisfied, full, and the craving for spaghetti was met.

How To Make zucchini and sweet potato pasta

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, combine olive oil (just enough to cover pan), tomatoes, corn, garlic, cilantro paste, chopped peppers, and salt and pepper.

Step 2

While this is stewing, spiralize the zucchini and potatoes. Once the tomatoes have started to crack, use a wooden spoon to squash them. Add in your noodles, toss to coat.
Step 3

After a couple minutes, add in spinach until just wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Step 4

When serving, top with crumbled feta cheese (to your preference, about 1/4 cup a person), almonds and fresh cilantro. I top with lots of sriracha, because I like it spicy. It's just as good without it.
