Sometimes I get a craving for pasta…when the craving strikes I like to try out some sweet potato pasta first! This is a great recipe for sweet potato pasta that is 21 Day Fix and 2B Mindset friendly. It’s loaded with great flavors and has lots of good nutrients for your body instead of all the sugar in processed pasta.
I know that zoodles and sweet potato pasta are not the same as real linguini or spaghetti but I can’t feasibly eat those things everyday and still maintain my healthy lifestyle…so I make the best of it with delicious recipes like this!
If you’ve never tried a spiralized veggie in place of your traditional cooked pasta you should give it a go. Zoodles can be a key ingredient, along with some protein and veggies, can make a delicious and healthy alternative that you and your whole family actually enjoys!
I personally think our sweet potato pasta has more delicious flavors than any roasted sweet potatoes recipe i’ve found online. Our sweet potato pasta is also healthier and more delicious than cooked pasta.

Spiralizer – How to make Vegetable pasta
You can make any kind of vegetable pasta easily with a spiralizer. I love this one, I use it pretty regularly to make zoodles and all variety of other spiralized vegetables! It’s really simple. Once you have your potatoes peeled you insert them into the spiralizer and turn the crank. Smooth motions will keep your sweet potato pasta in long strands just like noodles.
I’ve found that using vegetable pasta really cuts down on carbs and helps me keep my healthy lifestyle goals on point. You’ll end up with a long core that comes out during the spiralizing process, you can chop that up a bit and include it or you can compost it or toss it. Just be aware if you’ve never made zoodles before that it’s totally normal!
If you decide you like making sweet potato pasta you have to try out this recipe for steak fajita zoodles, it’ll further solidify your obsession with spiralizing, I promise! Sweet potato linguini and other zoodle recipes are great for anyone who might be dealing with a gluten intolerance too! They can be cooked up dairy free as well so they’re amazing for special dietary needs.
How to Make Sweet Potato Pasta
- Peel sweet potatoes.
- Use a spiralizer with a coarse shred or flat blade to make the sweet potato pasta.
- Melt butter in large skillet over medium high heat.
- Add sage, garlic powder, and salt (if using).
- Add sweet potato zoodles.
- Stir and toss until tender (approx. 3 to 5 min).
Recipe Tips
- Our sweet potato pasta noodles are the most flavorful when you serve immediately.
- If you love roasted sweet potato, you’re going to love this pasta swap. We prefer sweet potatoes over white potatoes, although those can also have nutritional value too!
- You could serve the sweet potato pasta with a creamy sauce, or a simple pasta sauce. We think these are perfectly wonderful without an additional pasta sauce.

So perfect for a low carb meal! And I love how easy this is!
I’ve recently started to use my spiralizer again and was so happy to have stumbled upon your delicious recipe. So delicious and so easy – thank you!
Would these be “poodles”?? OKay, but seriously, so delicious!!! A nice break from zucchini!
Lolol!!
Love the sage butter with these sweet potato noodles! Such a great healthy recipe!
Thank you!! I sure love it :)
So easy and delicious.And a great alternative to “zoodles” for when you’re wanting to limit your carb intake!
“Spoodles” I am going to try these for sure. Perfect FFC
Will these keep in the fridge? I like to meal prep 2 or 3 lunches at a time. I’d like to make bowls with the “noodles”, chicken breast bite-size pieces and broccoli.
This sounds delicious! I’ve kept these for 2-3 days in the fridge.
