Sweet Potato Pasta

5.0 (1 reviews)

Sometimes parents are tired of eating kid-friendly pasta. We want to experience more flavors. But who wants to prepare two different dinners? Then, here comes this sweet potato pasta, with surprising flavor to make the adults happy, but with a creaminess that kept my kids thrilled too (plus it’s a kid-friendly color).

 

And though it tastes extremely rich, the sauce is made with mostly milk and only a bit of cream. After all the tons of pasta we’ve been testing and eating while writing this book, this is the one I dream about the most.        -V.

  5. Add pasta, a little bit at a time, to the sauce. Add in cheese and mix until melted. Season with salt. Serve hot.

You can make the sauce and pasta in advance, however, I wouldn't mix them together until right before serving.
