There's nothing I love more than homemade spaghetti and meatballs! But let's face it, my stomach doesn't always enjoy the bloat afterwards! That's why I love this healthy, but tasty, alternative. Sweet potatoes are a great source of complex carbohydrates, which means less sugar, more nutrients and a meal that will keep you feeling full longer than with traditional noodles.

The yellow sweet potato is slightly firmer than its cousin, the orange yam, so you'll notice a little bit of a crunchy texture paired with the warm, ground meat. Top with a gluten-free, no-sugar-added marinara sauce for a gluten-free and paleo-friendly meal the whole family will love!

1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
