Aren’t sweet potatoes everybody’s favorite? Beside being delicious sweet potatoes are considered as one of the healthiest foods on the planet! They’re great source of fibre as well as A and C vitamins which also function as antioxidants. These are essential for supporting immune system, healthy skin and good vision.

What you may probably not know sweet potatoes make an amazing pasta sauce which requires only 5 ingredients (including salt &pepper):

mashed sweet potatoes

sauted onion and garlic along with rosemary (optional)

veggie broth

Simply combine all the ingredients in a high speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Heat up on the stove and stir in your pasta of choice. I usually choose high in protein, gluten-free pasta. This chickpea pasta is my personal favorite! As easy as that!
