Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potato use potatoes that are narrow and long
- ¼ cup aquafaba or vegetable broth
- 4-5 cloves garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons parsley dried
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes or to taste
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste, sea salt
- 5 ounces spinach approx. 4 packed cups, baby, 142 grams
For Serving (optional)
- vegan parmesan cheese
- red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Peel and spiralize your sweet potatoes into spaghetti. Set aside.
- Use a large skillet and add the aquafaba (or broth), along with the garlic, parsley, pepper flakes and salt. Sauté over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Add the sweet potato spaghetti to the pan and mix to evenly coat with the spices and cook over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes, until slightly softened, but do not overcook. Add a few splashes of water or broth as needed, to prevent the noodles from sticking to the pan.
- Turn off the heat and add the spinach. Stir until wilted and then serve.

Notes
- For ease of spiralizing, use sweet potatoes that are narrow, long, and straight. Or you may purchase pre-spiralized sweet potato noodles from your grocery store to save time.
- If using canned aquafaba with salt, you may want to reduce the salt in the recipe, and then taste and add more, if needed.
- Do NOT overcook the noodles. You want the noodles tender but crisp, and not overly soft, for the best texture and to mimic 'al dente' pasta.
- If you don't have spinach, you may sub for another green veggie. Precook your greens if necessary.
- For less spice, reduce the red pepper flakes by half. This dish is traditionally spicy, but be sure to spice to your taste and tolerance.
- Leftovers keep refrigerated in a sealed container for 3-4 days.
