Ingredients:

1 onion
150g
1 sweet potato
180g
8 oz gluten-free pasta
230g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 cup almond milk
240g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Start by chopping the onion into small pieces and peeling and cubing the sweet potato.
2. Cook the Pasta:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the gluten-free pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
- Drain the pasta and set it aside.
3. Cook the Sweet Potato:
- While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 2-3 minutes, until it becomes translucent.
- Add the cubed sweet potato to the skillet and continue to cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potato is tender.
4. Make the Sauce:
- Once the sweet potato is tender, pour in the almond milk.
- Season with a dash of salt and black pepper.
- Stir well and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
5. Combine Pasta and Sauce:
- Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the sweet potato and almond milk mixture.
- Stir everything together until the pasta is well coated with the sauce.
6. Serve:
- Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
- Serve the sweet potato pasta warm, garnished with any desired toppings such as fresh herbs or grated cheese (optional).

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.

In just a few simple steps, you can prepare a delicious and wholesome sweet potato pasta that is perfect for a cozy dinner.
