Sweet Potato Creamy Pasta Sauce is an alfredo inspired sauce using sweet potatoes. Perfect for a simple, mid week vegetarian dinner option!
Sweet Potato Creamy Pasta Sauce
My kids prefer their pasta plain with just a little butter, which obviously isn’t at all a nutrient dense meal. This is my attempt at getting them to eat pasta with veggies in it. We always have sweet potatoes in our house, baked sweet potato chips are pretty much a staple, so I figured this flavour would have to be a winner with both kids.
You could easily add chicken or even salmon pieces if you want to add some protein. It would be perfect with some spinach through also, but I wasn’t going to push my fussy eaters too far! Maybe next time.
