Tonight's dinner was different from my usual pasta dinner. I usually have my pasta with some broccoli and cheese or balsamic. Tonight I made sweet potato pasta!
Sweet Potato Pasta
Ingredients:
1 box of whole wheat pasta
Extra virgin olive oil
2 sweet potatoes
sea salt
pepper
2 shallots, sliced
1 tbs chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1/3 Greek yogurt
Instructions:
Cook pasta according to directions on the box. While the pasta is cooking, heat about a tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes, 3⁄4 teaspoon sea salt, and 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Add the shallots and rosemary and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender, 3 to 5 minutes. When pasta is done cooking, reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, drain the pasta and return to the pot. Toss the pasta with the potato mixture, Parmesan, and reserved water.
Serve with a dollop of the Greek yogurt.
Also, drink a much needed cocktail.
Have some Diet Coke with your vodkaNighty night!

the title of this post really lured me in!! delish!!
Dinner looks great.
I've been getting behind on my blog reading so I just saw your earlier post. I think you should use the blog in whatever way is helpful and fun to you. I found the other day when my computer was down, I really struggled with healthy eating. I had all sorts of treats I haven't been having while taking pictures... I went overboard and felt too full. On the plus side - it seems my blog is helping me maintain a focus on healthy food, on the other hand it is important not to deprive myself and cause uncontrolled cravings later on. We'll keep reading however you decide to post.
A little drunky eh?? haha, too funny. Good for you, enjoying yourself a bit over the holidays!
The pasta sounds fantastic. I need to try that sometime. Thanks for the recipe!
You're funny...my kinda girl!
I made a pasta recipe similar to that with butternut squash and goat cheese. It was delicious!!
Don't worry about internet jerks...sad and pathetic! NO ONE is perfect! Your philosophy is spot-on and you keep doing what you're doing!
LOVE royal tennenbaums.....really want to see fantastic mr. fox! Looks like some yummy pasta :-)
