Sweet Potato Pasta
Sweet potato pasta is amazing and easy to make! You’d think it was just normal pasta. I wash my sweet potato, wrap it in a wet paper towel, and toss it into the microwave. I’m doing two potatoes so about eight minutes. Once out of the microwave I peel away the skin, mash the potato then store it in the fridge for about twelve hours. You could use this like you would any sweet potato but today I want to make it into a pasta. If you like this recipe be sure to check out this one too! and this one!
Kneading
I transfer the sweet potato to a large bowl, and add half a cup of all purpose flour. I knead it with my hands. It was still soft so I put it on the counter and kneaded in more flour. Once the dough ball is tacky but not sticking to your hands, put it back in the bowl and cover it up for a few minutes while we boil water. I roll out a quarter of my dough ball then fold it over itself and slice it into pasta.
Taste Test
Put the noodles in the boiling water for only about two minutes. In a really hot pan I add dairy free butter, some garlic, and chopped sage. As soon as the pasta is done I toss them right into the butter and sage mix. Then plate! It is delicious! You wouldn’t know it was a sweet potato! Watch the full video here!
