Sweet Potato Goat Cheese Sage Pasta is a delightful vegetarian dish that beautifully combines comforting flavors and creamy textures.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Sweet Potatoes (can be replaced with butternut squash or roasted carrots)
  • 8 ounces Short Pasta (e.g., Rigatoni, Penne, Fusilli) (gluten-free alternatives available)
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced finely)
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream (or plant-based cream for a vegan option)
  • 4 ounces Goat Cheese (substitute with creamy ricotta or feta if preferred)
  • 10 leaves Fresh Sage Leaves (fry for extra crispiness)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (drizzle extra for enhanced flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese (optional for a vegan version)
  • 1 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 430°F (220°C). Toss diced sweet potatoes and minced garlic with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes.
  2. Boil a large pot of salted water. Cook your choice of short pasta until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve about 2/3 cup of pasta water before draining.
  3. Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Fry fresh sage leaves for 1-2 minutes until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel to drain.
  4. Add roasted sweet potatoes to the skillet. Mash half of them while keeping some chunks. Stir in roasted garlic.
  5. Combine drained pasta with sweet potato mixture. Pour in heavy cream and add crumbled goat cheese. Toss with reserved pasta water until desired consistency.
  6. Season the pasta with salt and pepper, serve topped with crispy sage leaves, Parmesan, and a drizzle of olive oil.

Notes

  • This dish can be made vegan by substituting the cream and cheese.
  • Adjust crushed red pepper flakes to your taste.
