Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
6 oz wild mushroom, such as black trumpet or cremini
7 tablespoons butter, divided
1 sprig fresh sage
½ cup chicken stock
¾ lb cooked penne, al dente
1 teaspoon sherry wine vinegar
½ cup grated parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
5 amaretti cookies, crushed, to serve
½ cup fresh chives, chopped, to serve

Steps:

  • Use a fork to poke holes into 1 sweet potato. Wrap the sweet potato in a damp paper towel and microwave on high for 10-12 minutes, until fork-tender.
  • Peel and dice the other sweet potato into 1-centimeter (½ inch) cubes.
  • Carefully scoop the pulp of the cooked sweet potato into a food processor or blender. Add about 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper and blend under smooth. Add a splash of water if the puree is too thick.
  • In a pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms start to crisp, about 3 minutes.
  • Add 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper to the mushrooms and remove from the heat. Drain the mushrooms of excess oil in a paper towel-lined bowl.
  • Add 6 tablespoons of the butter and sage to the pan and cook until brown bits start to form on the bottom, being very careful to not burn the butter.
  • Once slightly brown, remove the sage and add the cubed sweet potato and 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Cook about 5 minutes, until the potato becomes tender.
  • Stir in the reserved purée and chicken stock. Simmer for two minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly and the mixture comes together smoothly.
  • Add the penne and mushrooms and coat evenly in the sauce.
  • Finish the pasta with 1 tablespoon butter, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and sherry wine vinegar, stirring to combine. Remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese.
  • Serve warm, garnished with chives, crushed amaretti cookies, and more Parmesan.
  • Enjoy!

I love how versatile this recipe is. I didn't have any mushrooms on hand, so I used zucchini instead. It turned out just as delicious.
