SWEET POTATO "PASTA" WITH TANGY MARINARA: A RAW FOOD R
Sweet potato noodles are nothing more than finely shredded or spiralized raw sweet potato. It has the texture of shredded coconut and makes a good al dente noodle. You can also use a zester to create shorter pieces and use in place of rice. The tangy marinara in this recipe balances the starch present in the raw potato, leaving you with a taste of old-world Italy.

Tips:
- Use a spiralizer to create the sweet potato pasta. This will give you long, thin strands that resemble spaghetti.
- If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a knife to slice the sweet potatoes into thin strips. Just be sure to slice them as evenly as possible so that they cook evenly.
- Soak the sweet potato pasta in water for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to remove the starch and make the pasta less sticky.
- Cook the sweet potato pasta in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, or until it is tender but still slightly firm. Do not overcook the pasta, or it will become mushy.
- Drain the sweet potato pasta and rinse it with cold water. This will stop the cooking process and help to prevent the pasta from sticking together.
- Serve the sweet potato pasta with your favorite marinara sauce. You can also add other toppings, such as cooked vegetables, cheese, or nuts.
