Hey Ali…. could you possibly make this cauliflower sauce ahead of time and just reheat before you make this meal? Thanks!

In reply to Sarah. I think you should be able to use zucchini noodles in place of the sweet potato or even spaghetti squash.

I made this yesterday for Sunday dinner. Delicious! I substituted 2 tbsp. of grated Parmesan Reggiano in place of the nutritional yeast. Then I added 1-2 additional tbsp. on top and red pepper flakes for heat. Really enjoyed this, felt indulgent but it’s so healthy!

One question about the cauliflower: do you put all of it the sauce? The picture shows some whole florets

Delicious! I made it for just two people so used only one sweet potato and a half recipe of meatballs, but a full recipe of cauliflower sauce (to use up leftover cauliflower). A nice meal that filled me up but didn’t weigh on my stomach. Very inventive!

In reply to Jane.

I’ve cooked a ton of sweet potato noodles (LOVE THEM, one of my favorite things to spiralize) many ways and pan cooking is easiest in my opinion. I’d add the olive oil (I tend to use about 2x the oil than in recipe to avoid sticking as I don’t care so much about fat content from good oils…I use non-stick high-quality skillets, not cast iron…and almost always use grapeseed or coconut oil instead) and by “cook until done” it’s really all preference. Do you want them “stiffer” or more soft? The longer you cook, however, the more likely they will fall apart. I make sure I can still pick them up with a fork yet still have them be soft. You’ll experiment and figure out what you prefer. Trust me! As an experienced cook, spriralizing vegetables was new to me and I’ve over/undercooked things a few times but they are always still edible and not terrible at all! 🙂

I REALLY dislike sweet potatoes. Would there be a replacement vegetable that would work well in this recipe–flavor-wise? I’m excited to try it! 🙂

Hi Ali,
I watched you make this on Snapchat yesterday and couldn’t wait for you to post this! I’m cooking for just myself. How long can sweet potatoes stay in a spiralized state before going bad? And, instead of sweet potatoes, do you think you could sub them out for zucchinis?

Thanks so much!

Best,
Jonna

We made this tonight with ground turkey instead of ground chicken. Very good. Meatballs and sweet potato noodles were awesome. Sauce was a little lack luster. I think next time I would add more nutritional yeast for the “cheesier” flavor.

Yum!! I absolutely love sweet potato noodles; you’re sweet potato “shoestring fries” are the best thing ever. Plus cauliflower sauce? Omg. I might try this with tempeh instead of chicken, or chickpeas. Thanks Ali!

I feel the same way about sweet potatoes! They are so versatile. Making this dish tonight with some chicken sausage for a quick and dirty version. Love the cauliflower alfredo!

Thank you for posting a recipe that is dairy free but not vegan. Not easy to find for those of us that are meat eaters with dairy allergies. This looks delicious. I can’t wait to try it.

As a cook with meager skills and limited experience, some questions have occurred to me.
In step 5, should we assume that we should add the inspiralized sweet potatoes, the “noodles,” after the olive oil?
by “cook until done,” what do you mean? Should we toss the noodles in the oil? Then what? Let them cook undisturbed? Cover the skillet? Keep heat on medium, or lower the heat?
I would worry that the sweet potato noodles would stick to the hot skillet surface. I assume that was not a problem in your cast iron skillet?

Ali, I love your recipes but I frequently have trouble with your website. It is slow to respond and often freezes. I then have trouble even shutting it down to start over. Are others having the same problems or do you have any suggestions? Thanks
