I saw this in one of the gazillion cooking magazines I get. I think this will become a staple this fall and winter. We have the sausage and pepper recipe that we eat pretty much every other week but this has a little twist that I think will be delicious!!
3 C. uncooked whole wheat spiral pasta
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1 tbsp. water
8oz. smoked turkey sausage, cut into 1/4 inch slices
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 14.5oz. can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 C. half and half
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
3/4 C. shredded cheddar cheese
Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, place potatoes and water in microwave safe bowl. Cover and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes until potatoes are almost tender. In a large, nonstick skillet, cook the sausage, green pepper in oil over medium heat for 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute more.
Stir in the tomatoes, cream, salt, pepper, and potatoes; heat through. Drain pasta; stir into skillet. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
