Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1.1 pounds), peeled and diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 12 ounces short pasta (rigatoni, penne, or fusilli)
  • 4.2 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 20 fresh sage leaves
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 ounce grated parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 430°F. Toss diced sweet potatoes with minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20 to 25 minutes until tender.
  2. Boil salted water in a large pot; cook pasta until al dente according to package directions. Reserve about 2/3 cup pasta cooking water before draining.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter with remaining olive oil. Fry sage leaves until crispy (about 1 to 2 minutes), then remove and drain on paper towels.
  4. Add roasted sweet potatoes to the skillet; mash half while keeping some chunks intact.
  5. Combine drained pasta with sweet potatoes in the skillet, stirring in heavy cream and crumbled goat cheese along with reserved pasta water until creamy. Adjust consistency as needed.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste; serve topped with crispy sage leaves, parmesan cheese (if using), and crushed red pepper flakes.
