Servings: 4 people
Calories: 245kcal
Ingredients
- 600g sweet potato cut into bitesized pieces
- 300g baby tomatoes
- 1 garlic bulb sliced off the top to expose the garlic cloves
- 2 shallots peeled and sliced in half lengthways
- 2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 300g pasta cooked to packet instructions and drained
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200C/390F.
- Get your sheet pan and add on all of your vegetables. Get your sliced bulb of garlic and drizzle with oil, then cover in tinned foil and nestle into your tray of vegetables. Drizzle your whole tray with olive oil, then sprinkle with paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Place in the oven for 40 minutes until the sweet potato is soft.
- Once your vegetables are soft, add them to a large blender or food processor, removing the garlic cloves from the bulb. Add 250ml of water to your blender or food processor, and blend until the sauce is smooth. Taste and season based on your preferences (add in more salt, pepper, paprika, or oregano!).
- Next up, get your cooked and drained pasta and combine with your sweet potato pasta sauce. Sprinkle with crumbled feta and parsley for a bit of extra flavour and colour. Enjoy!
Notes
Step-by-Step Photos: My blog post includes helpful step-by-step photos to help guide you through making this recipe.
To double quantity: This recipe can be doubled to make the dish for 8 people.
Storage: Place any leftover sweet potato sauce in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also store this with the pasta too.
Freeze: To freeze the sauce, place it in an airtight container and into the freezer for up to 3 months. To defrost, remove from the freezer, place in the fridge overnight to thaw, and then heat up according to the instructions below.
Reheating: From the fridge, simple transfer the sauce into a saucepan and heat on low for around 10 minutes or until the sauce is bubbling and piping hot. From frozen and once defrosted, follow the same instructions as above by placing the sweet potato sauce into a saucepan until bubbling and piping hot. Alternatively, you can heat up the sauce in the microwave for a few minutes with the lid of the Tupperware loosely fitted on.
Top Tips:
- If you'd like to add even more flavour, use vegetable stock instead of water to loosen the sauce.
- Heat up the sauce back in a pan with your pasta to ensure everything is boiling hot and ready to serve.
