Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz short pasta rotini, penne, or your choice
  • 2 cups sweet potatoes peeled and diced
  • 4 oz goat cheese crumbled
  • 1/4 cup fresh sage leaves chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Parmesan cheese grated (optional, for topping)

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes and sauté for about 5-6 minutes until they start to soften and develop a bit of color.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add pasta to the pot with the sweet potatoes then pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and the milk, ensuring that the pasta is mostly submerged in the liquid.
  • Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Once the pasta is about halfway cooked (after around 5-7 minutes), add the crumbled goat cheese and chopped fresh sage leaves to the pot. Stir well to incorporate the ingredients.
  • Continue simmering and stirring until the pasta is cooked to your desired level of doneness and the sweet potatoes are tender. The liquid should be mostly absorbed, leaving a creamy sauce.
  • Season the pasta with salt and black pepper to taste. Remember that the goat cheese adds some saltiness, so adjust accordingly.
  • Once the pasta is cooked and the sauce has thickened, remove the pot from the heat.
  • Serve the one-pot sweet potato, goat cheese, and sage pasta in individual plates or bowls. Optionally, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese over each serving.
