Categories: pasta, sweet potatoes

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (I used extra virgin)
  • salt
  • 3 leeks (I used green onions)
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, (I used dried – 1/2 to 3/4 tbsp)
  • 14 oz pasta, (using whole wheat really adds to the great fiber content in this dish)
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 6 oz feta
  • 8 oz baby spinach leaves, (I didn’t have any spinach)
  • cracked black pepper
  • grated parmesan

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

  2. Peel & dice the sweet potatoes.

  3. Toss potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil and salt and pepper.

  4. Spread potatoes on baking sheet (probably want non-stick spray) and roast for 30 minutes until browned and soft.

  5. In a skillet on medium heat, place the oil, leeks & rosemary and cook for about 7 minutes until the leeks are soft and golden.

  6. Cook pasta per package directions and drain.

  7. Combine pasta, sweet potatoes, oil mixture (with leeks & rosemary), butter & feta.

  8. Toss until fully combined.

  9. Serve over spinach leaves and sprinkle with grated parmesan & black pepper.
