Sweet Potato Pasta Bake


Yummmmy. I had a bunch of leftover pasta so I looked around the cupboard to see what else I had lying about. This turned out to be rich, full of flavour and a perfect late lunch indulgence.



Ingredients:

2 large or 3 small sweet potatoes - peeled and diced

1 Big handful of cooked linguine (next time will do better measurements)

2/3 cup milk

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 cube vegetable stock, dissolved in 1/4 cup water

4-inch cube of blue cheese

4-inch cube mature cheddar cheese

4 tablespoons of cream cheese

2 tablespoons of creme fraiche

breadcrumbs

chopped coriander (cilantro)



Method:

Cooked the cubes of sweet potato in the microwave for 4 minutes until softened. Mix pasta with sweet potatoes in a large pot. Add the creme fraiche, cream cheese, chopped blue cheese and cheddar, paprika and vegetable stock. Mix well. Put into a 9 inch casserole dish. Pour milk on top. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs and coriander.

Bake in a preheated oven 200 C for about 30 minutes. Done.
