Sweet Potato Pasta Sauce

Friday night my oldest friend Emily was in town for the evening. I was lazy on food, but I made some sweet potato sauce that was pretty good. Would be better with a few additions, but you have to start somewhere right?

 Without natural light, it doesn't look like much but hey. Here's how we made it:
1. Roast sweet potatoes (we sliced them into rounds, and 400 for about half an hour worked well).
2. Mix together garlic, basil, a bit of olive oil, pepper, and seasoning salt. Trader Joe's makes frozen mini-ice cube looking things of several different herbs, and I love them because you don't have to do anything at all.
3. Blend in roasted sweet potatoes. Add milk (I started with a cup, and ended up adding more) and some water until it is the texture and thickness you want.

 I think this would be really great with some roasted vegetables and a green salad. And some of Robin's homemade bread.

So my quest to add sweet potatoes to nearly everything continues....next up? An Easter quiche....

Happy Easter (or happy Sunday, depending on your background) to you and yours!
