This sweet potato pasta is tossed with tomato and basil for a quick and easy one-pot dish that’s ready in under 30 minutes!

The possibilities are endless when it comes to Paleo-friendly veggie pasta. In this colorful one-pot recipe, sweet potato noodles are paired with tomato, herbs and garlic for a comforting meal that satisfies.

Start by sautéing fresh sliced garlic and red onion in olive oil over medium low heat until the garlic starts to soften and becomes fragrant. As the garlic and onion cook, spiralize one large sweet potato.

I recommend using the 6-millimeter blade of a spiral slicer for a heartier noodle, but feel free to use any setting you like. Add the sweet potato noodles to the pot along with basil, cherry tomatoes, sea salt and chili flakes. Use tongs to gently toss the vegetables together and cook for only about five minutes more, then serve!
