Butter and Brown Sugar Sweet Potato Pasta

The majority of the recipes written for this site are healthy and nutritious. Every once in a while, it doesn't hurt to eat something that might not be the healthiest thing for you in the world. Although the Pastamore Sweet Potato Fettuccine is perfectly healthy by itself, adding some butter and brown sugar can turn the tides.

This recipe utilizes the classic combination of sweet potatoes, brown sugar, and butter. Although olive oil could be substituted, the butter is an integral flavor component in this dish. If one is worried about calories, the butter can be reduced by one tablespoon, and a little bit of water can be added in it's place.

Ingredients: Servings: 4
1 12oz package - Pastamore Sweet Potato Fettuccine
3 Tbsp - whole butter, cut into 4 pieces
.5-1 Tbsp - brown sugar
To taste - salt and black pepper

Directions:
1. Fill a large pot with water (minimum of 4 quarts). Place on the stove over high heat, and bring to a boil.

2. When the water is boiling, add the Pastamore Sweet Potato Fettuccine.

3. Cook for 4-7 minutes or until the pasta reaches the desired doneness. Turn off the heat when the pasta has finished cooking.

4. When the pasta has been cooked, drain using a colander. Return the pasta to the pot that the pasta was cooked in, and return the pot to the burner that it was originally on. Add the butter and .5 Tbsp of the brown sugar. Mix until all of the pasta has been coated. Season with salt and black pepper. Depending on the desired sweetness, reserve or add the remaining brown sugar.

Serve with chicken, pork, or even with some regular roasted potatoes on the side. This dish is rich, flavorful, and very filling.
