    Sweet Potato Pasta + Sweet & Spicy Tahini Dressing

    I can't even wait for you all to make this dish. I haven't been this mind blown in a long time. I was beyond surprised that sweet potato noodles would be this amazing. 

    I could eat a bowl full of them without any dressing. Just salt and pepper is all I need. So healthy, so hearty, but yet so french fry-y (I know that's not a word).  


     

    When you add sauce, the noodles do a great job of mimicking linguini pasta. I mean they add a flavor that other pastas don't; but I have to admit that I LOVE the flavor it adds. The texture reminds me a bit more of pad thai rice noodles. 


    This recipe does require a spiralizer. I highly recommend getting one if you don't already have one. There are so many things you can do with it - apples, sweet potatoes, zucchinis, cucumbers, etc. But you can also find already spiralized veggies at the health food stores now-a-days. So check there if you don't feel like doing this part on your own. It's worth an extra dollar or two sometimes. 



    Basically, once the sweet potatoes are spiralized into noodles you only have to cook them for a few minutes on high/medium heat with a little olive oil. You'll know when they are done because they brown and/or get soft. The color changes a bit as well. 

    You can feel free to add any kind of sauce you'd like. My vegan queso cheese would be great, or even my lasagna red sauce or better yet, my raw vegan fettuccini alfredo would be bomb as well. 


    SWEET POTATO PASTA

    yields 2 bowls of pasta

    INGREDIENTS

    13 oz (369 grams or like 6 cups) sweet potato noodles

    2 teaspoon coconut oil (I prefer the odorless kind)

    sea salt + pepper, to taste

    1 apple, sliced very thinly or spiralized into think noodles

    garnish:  mint, cilantro, chopped onion

    DIRECTIONS

    + Read above for my directions on cutting sweet potatoes into noodle. You'll need a spiralizer. 

    + Heat oil in a frying pan or wok on medium to high. (I don't usually cook on high, but this recipe calls for a more higher heat, if you ask me).

    + Add noodles. Add salt and pepper. 

    + Cook for about 2-3 minutes. You'll want to flip noodles and stir over and over to be sure everything gets cooked evenly. 

    + Add chopped apple. 

    + Add garnish and tahini dressing (recipe below). 

    + Serve immediately. 

    TAHINI DRESSING

    yields ⅓ cup sauce

    INGREDIENTS

    ¼ cup chopped mint

    2 heaping tablespoon tahini

    1 teaspoon grated ginger

    2 tablespoon chopped shallot or white onion

    ¼ teaspoon sea salt

    2 Tbsp

    1 lemon, juice only

    1 heaping Tbls horseradish sauce (sub ½ teaspoon fresh hoseradish if you don't have the sauce)

    1 squirt agave nectar (or ¾ tablespoon liquid sweetener of choice - this is for flavor balance)

    1 tablespoon water

    DIRECTIONS

    + Put everything into a blender. 

    + Blend on medium and then high. Blend until creamy. 

    + note: You might need to scrape sides of the container and blend again. Do this a few times to get everything blended well. 

    Enjoy and please let me know if you make this. It's such a new idea that I'm dying to hear all your thoughts and feedback. I LOVE IT and hope you do too. 

    Don't forget to tag #puremamas or @julinovotny if you post a pic on Instagram or tweet a pic. I'd love to see your creations.

      Looks amazing and will be trying. Have you ever cooked with natto? It has been getting a lot of press lately and wondered what your thoughts were around this new "superfood".
      Thanks!

        Natto is an traditional Japanese food. It was everywhere while I was in Japan back in 1996 - ha! But we don't usually use it here in US. It's another form of a probiotic which is probably why it's getting so much press lately. America is obsessed with probiotics this year. Kimchi, kefir, kefir drinks, miso, pickled everything. I don't use it in cooking but maybe I will start 😉 Thanks Bridget.

Passion fruit water is yet another youth serum. As passion fruit is full of vitamin C, vitamin A, fiber, and minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and folate. These help your kidneys, nerves, muscles, and heart rhythm in big ways.
Your body uses Vitamins C to make blood vessels, cartilage, muscles, and collagen, which keeps skin looking young. It also helps your body heal, lowers inflammation, and protects your cells from damage. When you get enough vitamin C, it lowers your chances of getting colds and certain types of cancers. Vit A is great for eyes, immunity, and cells.
Note: did you know Passion Fruit is actually a berry? The biggest berry you’ll find.

    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not rea
    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not ready for change. And that’s perfectly ok. 
Making healthy choices isn’t hard work. You “have time” to choose an apple over a bag of chips. Let’s be real here; you just DON’T WANT TO.  And that alone is totally ok!!
Let’s not shame others choices or pressure another to change. If somebody is not happy where they’re at, or they are sick, or in pain, only then will they start examining their current routines and habits. Anger is a great catalysts for change. It often pushes people out if their comfort zones and into action. 
I often hear “I don’t have time to be healthy”. But what that really means is I don’t want to change or I’m afraid of change. And I’m not ready. Change is what they’re nervous about - not the amount of time it takes to chop up vegetables. 
Be kind to yourself…but be honest. 
Notice what you say you desire (weightloss or more energy) and then really examine your habits. Do you make the choices a “thin” person makes? Do you make the choices a rested high energy person needs to make? This might seem obvious but it’s actually not…so often we overlook this gap. We don’t see it and then we get mad at ourselves. Punish ourselves for “failing” over and over again. 
Once you start paying attention to your actions and habits and line them up with your goals - that’s when the magic happens. 
Yay or nay?
