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 try. I’ve found that using vegetable pasta really cuts down on carbs and helps me keep my healthy lifestyle goals on point.

Ingredients in Sweet Potato Pasta
- Butter: Enjoying butter in moderation may be linked to a lower risk of obesity, diabetes, and heart problems.
- Ground sage: Sage is such the perfect match for sweet potatoes. This combination reminds me of all things Fall and delicious.
- Garlic powder
- Sweet potatoes: Sweet potatoes are nutritious, packing a good amount of vitamin A, vitamin C, and manganese into each serving.
- Salt & pepper: (to taste)
How to Make Sweet Potato Pasta
Step 1: Start by peeling your sweet potatoes.
Step 2: Use a spiralizer with a coarse shred or flat blade to make the sweet potato pasta.
Tip: Smooth motions will keep your sweet potato pasta in long strands just like noodles.
Step 3: Melt butter in large skillet over medium high heat, then add the sage, garlic powder, and salt (if using).
Add sweet potato zoodles and stir it all together.
Step 4: Cook the sweet potato zoodles until tender (approx. 3 to 5 min).
Recipe Tips
- I prefer to eat the sweet potato pasta noodles right away, as they taste the most flavorful immediately.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 normal.
- 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!

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.
“Spoodles” I am going to try these for sure. Perfect FFC
So easy and delicious.And a great alternative to “zoodles” for when you’re wanting to limit your carb intake!
Love the sage butter with these sweet potato noodles! Such a great healthy recipe!

Would these be “poodles”?? OKay, but seriously, so delicious!!! A nice break from zucchini!
