This vibrant Spiralized Sweet Potato Pasta with Rosemary Brown Butter and Queso Fresco is super-easy to make and is absolutely packed with flavor. Perfect for a meatless and delicious meal. Ready in less than 15 mins!!
To be honest, since I bought my Spiralizer I have only used it with cucumbers and potatoes. I love it. But I have decided that I need to experiment more. So I jumped on to the Spiralizer band wagon with both feet with this Spiralized Sweet Potato Pasta with Rosemary Butter and Queso Fresco; which BTW turned out surprisingly delicious. Next time…beets!!
I love pasta! I’m not going to tell you that this same thing as a plate of pasta. However, spiralizing does make eating veggies a bit more fun. It’s a great option to make a low-carb, high-vegetable pasta alternative. Plus, make veggies more appealing to kids. This is the spiralizer I own. It’s inexpensive and it works great!
If you don’t have much time during weekdays, like myself, you can spiralize different types of veggies on the weekend and store them on paper towel lined sealable plastic bag up to 3 days.
The flavors on this dish are amazing and it is so simple to put together. Brown butter combined with rosemary adds a little splash of magic with nutty aromas. It’s like liquid gold. The combo of the sweet potatoes and rosemary brown butter is perfect, while the queso fresco add a unique and delicious flair to this dish.
This dish is the perfect weekday lunch or dinner when you’re craving something light but still satisfying. So if you haven’t jumped on the spiralized-veggie band wagon yet, I suggest you do so immediately!!
- 3 - 4 medium sweet potatoes peeled and washed

In the same skillet melt butter over high heat. Add rosemary; cook until butter begins to brown and sizzle, about 1 -2 minute. Remove skillet from heat.
-
Add butter to the sweet potato and toss until the noodles are well coated.
-
Sprinkle with cheese and serve immediately.
There are many different types kitchen gadget to turn veggies into noodle. I used Paderno World CuisineTri-Blade Plastic Spiral Vegetable Slicer.
Do not overcook the sweet potatoes; they should be a bit soft but still crunchy.
You can substitute Queso Fresco with Feta cheese.
This looks beautiful! I’ve never used a spiralizer before, it looks very handy – a great way to make lower carb pasta! I’ll give this a go once I get a spiralizer 🙂
This is super interesting – I have just ordered a spiral vegetable slicer from Amazon. Thanks for introducing me to such an interesting way to prepare veggies!
You and I must have ‘meatless’ on the brain today! I love this recipe as sweet potatoes are one of my favorite vegetables! I think I need to get on that spiralizer train! Thanks, for sharing, Oriana!
I’ve never seen sweet potato spiralised before! This is awesome! I love this! And brown butter….anything with brown butter ROCKS!! 🙂
I’ve never seen sweet potato spiralised before either – what an inventive recipe!
Spiralized food seems to be the newest health trend! This is my first time seeing someone using sweet potato for this recipe, great idea!
We love your blog and recipes, are you interested in becoming a Chicory recipe partner?
This looks great! Can you reference the spiralizer you used that was strong enough to handle a sweet potato? I’ve been reviewing them and still need to find a sturdy one that will do the job for the denser veggies as well as cucs and zucchs.
Thanks for any suggestions on that!
