Instructions:

Tips:
- Ensure the sweet potato is diced into small, even pieces for quicker and more uniform cooking.
- You can use any type of gluten-free pasta you prefer, such as penne, fusilli, or spaghetti.
- Adding a bit of the starchy pasta water to the sauce can help thicken it and make it creamier. Just reserve a cup before draining the pasta.
- Feel free to customize the recipe with additional herbs and spices, such as garlic, thyme, or rosemary, to enhance the flavor.
- For added protein, consider adding cooked chicken, tofu, or chickpeas to the dish.
