Rigatoni With Sweet Potato, Oregano, and Parmesan
Antonis Achilleos
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375° F.
Step 2
Rinse the sweet potatoes and prick their skins several times with a fork. Place them directly on rack in oven. Bake 1 hour or until soft; set aside.
Step 3
Cook the rigatoni according to the package directions. Drain, reserving 1/3 cup of the cooking water.
Step 4
In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and sauté until just golden. Add the oregano and sauté about 1 minute, until fragrant and slightly crisp.
Step 5
Place the rigatoni in a large bowl. Scoop the potato flesh into the bowl of pasta. Add the olive oil mixture and pasta water and toss. Sprinkle with the salt, pepper, and Parmesan.

@bundle: this recipe is so simple and quite tasty. The garlic nicely compliments the sweetness of the potatoes and the oregano gives it a nice flavor. It's nothing fancy, but is simple. I recommend it!

I just noticed that the only comment on this recipe was posted in December of last year. Has anyone out there tried this recipe, and if so, what did you think? It sounds O. K., but I'm not really willing to go to the trouble to fix something that is just O. K. If I'm going to go to the trouble to do 'home cooked', which I prefer, I want it to be worth the time, effort, and money. Let me hear from you.

This recipe looks great, and pretty healthy too! It always bothers me, though, when the picture obviously doesn't reflect the recipe. This hasn't been tossed together. Food styling is fine, but not to this extend. Also, the total time doesn't take into account baking the sweet potatoes. Can't wait to see how it tastes, tho!
