All of my favorite food groups rolled into one dish? Why yes, please and thank you. Who doesn't love pasta, cheese, and sweet potatoes? Pair it with a fabulous glass of wine and to me it is the perfect evening meal.
Ingredients:
8 oz uncooked pasta, I used a whole wheat penne
1 cup sweet potato puree. I used 1 large potato baked at 300 for 1.5 hours
1 cup milk or heavy cream
2 ounces cream cheese ( I used 1 ounce cream cheese and 1 ounce goat cheese)
1 cup finely grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup good double cream brie cheese (rind removed, and cut into small cubes
Tiny pinch of nutmeg
Salt and Pepper to taste
Directions:
Cook pasta to your liking, I enjoy mine slightly al dente. Meanwhile over medium heat (too hot and cheese won't melt right) whisk together the sweet potato puree and milk. Reduce heat to low and whisk in cheese until fully melted. Stir in nutmeg, season with salt and pepper. Drain your pasta and add it to your sauce. Serve immediately and sprinkle with a touch of nutmeg, garnish with a basil leaf or two.
This pasta is very rich and with that being said a lighter wine would be its best companion. I would suggest a Grenache or even a nice crisp Sauvignon Blanc would be nice. Enjoy!!
