Before:

Pasta dishes are notorious for being loaded with calories and low-quality carbohydrates.

Skinny-Size It:

Swap traditional noodles for soba (buckwheat) noodles and add plenty of colorful vegetables to bring down the calorie count per serving. The colorful vegetables in this dish supply a healthy dose of your daily vitamin and mineral needs. Each serving provides 310 percent of the daily value for vitamin A, 120 percent of the daily value for vitamin C, 15 percent of the daily value for calcium and 20 percent of the daily value for iron.

Ingredients

One 8-ounce package soba (buckwheat) noodles

1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced

3 cups shredded sweet potato

1 cup finely diced red bell pepper

2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled

Directions

Prepare the soba noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the noodle water.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet and sauté the garlic until just fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add the sweet potatoes, peppers and reserved noodle water, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes. Cover the skillet, lower the heat to medium-low and simmer the vegetables until they are tender, about 3 to 5 minutes.

In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked soba noodles and the veggie mixture.

Serve in individual bowls, garnished with feta cheese.
