a recipe

I just thought I might share one of my favourite recipes....

It is Pasta with Roast Sweet Potato and Feta...by Donna Hay in her Marie Claire book Cooking ...it is totally delicious and I make it quite regularly...it is pretty quick and simple to do as well!

750g sweet potato (kumera)
sea salt
olive oil
3 leeks, chopped
1 TB fresh rosemary
500g pasta
2 TB butter
185g marinated feta, chopped
250g baby English Spinach leaves
cracked black pepper
Grated Parmesan cheese

Peel and chop potato into 1" chunks , toss in oil and salt, place on baking tray and bake at about 200'C (400'F)for about 30 minutes until soft and brown.
Place oil in frying pan, add leeks and rosemary and cook for about 7 minutes until leeks are soft and golden.
Place pasta in large saucepan of boiling water and cook until al dente
Drain pasta and place in a large warmed bowl
Add sweet potato, leek mixture, butter and feta and toss to combine.
Place piles of spinach on warmed plates and top with pasta, pepper and Parmesan (the spinach wilts under the warm pasta)

note - I use the oil from the marinated feta instead of butter...yummy!

It is a nice dish to serve for an informal meal with friends too - very tasty! No meat but men even like it....lol...

Enjoy....back with some layouts soon....Lissy
