Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large sweet potato
One 16-ounce package frozen ricotta, tofu, or spinach ravioli or tortellini
1 tablespoon nonhydrogenated margarine
2 to 3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup 1% low-fat milk or soymilk, or as needed

Steps:

  • Bake or microwave the sweet potato in its skin until tender. Plunge into a bowl of cold water.
  • Cook the pasta according to package directions, drain, and return to the pot.
  • Meanwhile, heat the margarine in a small skillet. Add the garlic and sauté over low heat until golden, about 1 minute, and remove from the heat.
  • Drain the sweet potato, peel, and mash it well in a small mixing bowl. Add the sautéed garlic and enough milk to make a thick sauce. Season.
  • Combine the sauce with the pasta in the pot. Cook just until the sauce is heated through. Serve at once.
