Zucchini And Sweet Potato Pasta Recipes

ZUCCHINI AND SWEET POTATO PASTA

Steps:

• 1. In a large skillet over medium heat, combine olive oil (just enough to cover pan), tomatoes, corn, garlic, cilantro paste, chopped peppers, and salt and pepper.
• 2. While this is stewing, spiralize the zucchini and potatoes. Once the tomatoes have started to crack, use a wooden spoon to squash them. Add in your noodles, toss to coat.
• 3. After a couple minutes, add in spinach until just wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
• 4. When serving, top with crumbled feta cheese (to your preference, about 1/4 cup a person), almonds and fresh cilantro. I top with lots of sriracha, because I like it spicy. It's just as good without it.

SWEET POTATO ZUCCHINI HASH

Steps:

• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir sweet potatoes into butter to coat. Add brown sugar and stir until integrated.
• Increase heat to medium-high; cook and stir until brown sugar caramelizes on surface of the sweet potato cubes, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir zucchini into the sweet potato mixture; cook and stir until zucchini is tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain excess liquid to serve.

SWEET POTATO ZUCCHINI FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a quiche dish or 9" glass pie plate with non-stick cooking spray.
• In a quiche dish or 9" glass pie plate, add a layer of zucchini slices, then layer of cooked sweet potato cubes (I cooked mine in the microwave to save time), then another layer of zucchini slices. Season with a little salt and pepper.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, minced onion, mince garlic and salt and pepper. Pour over the veggies in the dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs in the middle have cooked through.
• Serve Sweet Potato Zucchini Frittata with Fresh Fruit and a glass of milk -- a great weeknight "brinner.".
