Ingredients
600g Sweet Potatoes, peeled and cut into 2cm chunks
1 tbsp Vegetable Oil
400g Just Essentials by Asda Spaghetti
50g Asda Light 50% Less Fat Original Soft Cheese
40g Asda Mini Extra Mature British Cheddar Cheese, grated
10g Mild & Peppery Flat Leaf Parsley, leaves finely chopped
Method
1
Bring one large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add the sweet potato chunks and parboil for 6–7 mins until almost soft. Drain well, then tip the potatoes into a frying pan with the oil and more seasoning and fry until the sweet potatoes are caramelised and soft – about 10–12 mins.
2
Meanwhile, refill the saucepan with water and bring to the boil for the pasta. Also cook for 10–12 mins until the spaghetti is just cooked. Before draining, scoop about ½ litre of the cooking water into a jug.
3
Tip the sweet potatoes into a blender or food processor. Add the soft cheese and grated cheddar with 300ml of the pasta water and whizz to a smooth sauce. Taste for seasoning.
4
Tip the sweet potato sauce back into the saucepan with the spaghetti and toss together with tongs until creamy and well coated – with a drop more of the pasta water if the sauce is looking too thick. Serve scattered with parsley and extra freshly ground black pepper
