Sweet Potato Pasta
Easy and delicious one pot sweet potato and spinach pasta in homemade parmesan cream sauce.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb penne pasta
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 5 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground sage
- 1/4 teaspoon thyme
- 1 large sweet potato diced (around 2 cups worth)
- 2 1/2 cups fresh chopped spinach
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 1/4 cups freshly grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- In a large pot or dutch oven, add the olive oil, diced sweet potato, garlic, and onion.
- Saute the vegetables over medium high heat for 8-10 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes start to soften.
- Add the penne pasta, sage, thyme and vegetable broth and bring it to a boil.
- Boil the pasta for 10-11 minutes, stirring often (turn down the heat if the boil is too strong).
- Once the pasta has finished cooking, turn the heat down to low and add the parmesan cheese, heavy whipping cream, and salt and pepper to taste (I used 1/2 teaspoon each).
- Continue stirring until the sauce starts to thicken (3-6 minutes).
- Add the chopped spinach and wilt it for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Serve your sweet potato pasta garnished with additional parmesan cheese, if desired.
