Spiralized Sweet Potato “Pasta” with Roasted Garlic Red Pepper Cream Sauce

Healthy spiralized sweet potato “pasta” with roasted garlic red pepper cream sauce is a tasty,  filling low carb dish that’s packed with vitamins!

When I first purchased my spiralizer , I didn’t realize how much I would end up using it and soon discovered how useful and fun it is to make healthy dishes with it.  It’s officially taken a front row spot on my kitchen counter and that’s not an easy task considering I only place essentials on the counter.

My list of “spiralized” recipe is getting longer every month but that’s only and truly because of how amazing spiralizing veggies is. It’s not only a quick and easy way to cook veggies, but spiralized veggies are so GOOD and replace fatty carbs without sacrificing texture or flavor.
For this next recipe I’ve got a super simply roasted garlic and red pepper spiralized sweet potato pasta. The peppers and garlic are quickly roasted under the broiler for just a few minutes until they begin to char. They are then purred and simmered with with cream and parmesan and added to the sweet potatoes.

The result is a creamy, flavorful pasta that’s packed with essential vitamins from the sweet potatoes.
