Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Noodles
- 2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and spiralized on medium setting
Sauce & Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 7 ounces white mushrooms, sliced
- 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 dashes Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon flour
- 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prep the vegetables: Peel and spiralize the sweet potatoes to medium thickness and slice the white mushrooms. Mince the garlic cloves to prepare all ingredients for cooking.
- Sauté mushrooms and garlic: Heat olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring often until the mushrooms soften and release their moisture.
- Create the cream sauce: Sprinkle in the flour and stir well to coat the mushrooms. Then pour in the heavy cream and allow the mixture to cook for about one minute, thickening the sauce slightly.
- Add sweet potato noodles: Incorporate the spiralized sweet potatoes into the skillet, ensuring they are well coated with the cream sauce. Cover the pan and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for 2 minutes to begin softening the noodles.
- Finish cooking the noodles: Using tongs or two spoons, toss the noodles gently to ensure even cooking. Re-cover and cook for another 2 minutes or until the noodles reach your preferred tenderness. Be careful not to overcook, as sweet potato noodles can disintegrate if left too long.
- Season and serve: Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish for freshness and serve immediately.
Notes
- For quicker prep, you can purchase pre-spiralized sweet potato noodles if available.
- Be cautious not to overcook the sweet potato noodles as they become mushy quickly.
- You can substitute heavy cream with coconut cream for a dairy-free version, though flavor will differ.
- Adding grated Parmesan on top can enhance flavor if dairy is acceptable.
- Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container and consumed within 2 days for best quality.
