Sweet Potato "Linguini"
Nutrivore Life: 255
Ingredients
- 8 medium sweet potatoes (long)
- 1/2 cup olive oil
Instructions
- Peel the sweet potatoes. Slice the potatoes lengthwise as thinly as possible (a mandoline works well for this task, or you can do it with a sharp chef's knife). Or, you can create linguini ribbons by using a vegetable peeler. Then cut each slice into long, thin strips 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch wide. The longer your sweet potatoes, the longer your "linguini" will be.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sweet potato to the oil and cook, stirring gently until tender, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Serve with a meat, pesto, or cheese sauce.

Notes
You can replace sweet potatoes with 2 butternut squash. Peel the squash, cut off the stems, and slice in half crosswise just above the bulge. Use the lower section (the section with seeds) for another dish. Slice the upper section lengthwise as thinly as possible, then cut each slice into long, thin strips 1/4 to 1/2 inch wide.
