Sweet Potato & Red Pepper Pasta

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out fine. I made it for my family of 8, and while we all thought it was fine, it wasn't our favorite recipe, so I won't make it again. Though it was a nice change from our usual meals.

This was yummy! At first I wasn't sure about shredding the sweet potato, but the idea of it being hard for the kiddos to pick around encouraged me to do it. I'm so glad that I did. The process may be a bit tedious, but it's so worth it. I like the texture it gave the pasta. That paired alongside the red pepper was perfect. I did make some changes to it, however. None of them are major (at least to me they weren't), but for those who struggled with the flavors of this recipe might want to give them a try. Instead of using white wine vinegar, I used the lemon juice; I knew I would like the flavor of the lemon over that of the vinegar. Since I thought that the recipe needed a bit more color variety, I added a cup of spinach. I also changed the spices; I didn't have tarragon so I used: 1/2tsp of thyme, and about 1tsp of rosemary. Delish! I will definitely be adding this one to the family's monthly rotation. Yum. Yum.

Love this dish. Really easy to make with a food processor and delicious. Been making it frequently over the last 6. years.

Loved the taste, but the texture was a bit off for me. I believe an easy fix for those who agree, would be to make a sort of purê with the sweet potato and then mix the ingredients.

Took suggestion & roasted vegetablesOkay, so I took suggestions from other reviewers and I cut the potato and pepper into a large dice. Then I roasted them along with a few plum tomatoes cut in half. To do so I tossed them with olive oil and roasted quickly at 400F. This resolved a lot of the cons noted among reviewers for me. The small amount of goat cheese is not enough protein for a dinner like this, though. Pros: tasty, prettyCons: Not enought protein

Didn't like the goat cheese but otherwise good I thought the meal itself was very easy to make and filling. The only part that I didn't like was the goat cheese. Next time I might use seasoned cooking cream instead just to have the creamy texture. I also took the advice of other reviews and used the food processor to cut up the potato, worked great

easy, nice light, sweet flavors I made this mostly according to the recipe, but added a little extra garlic powder, used lemon juice as was one of the options, and used basil instead of tarragon. I would not call it bland, though I see where people might be coming from in saying that. I think it is just a nice, light, sweet meal that integrates some extra veggies. I had hesitated to make this for quite some time because I was slightly weirded out by the sweet potatoes, but they are very light and meld nicely with the dish. I would definitely make this again!

Surprisingly Cheesy, but pretty good Cooking this recipe was a little strange-- the vegetable mixture seemed oddly watery while it was cooking, and I'm still unsure what "tender-crisp" means... But when it was all mixed together, it fit, texture-wise (despite what the other reviews have been saying). It was a lot creamier/cheesier than I expected it to be, which wasn't a bad thing at all; I'm a huge goat cheese fan! I just didn't anticipate it. I'd also recommend more garlic and more parsley than the recipe calls for. But it was delicious and very satisfying! Pros: great flavor, unique taste/texture of sweet potato, satisfying Cons: could use more herbs and more garlic

Another winner Trying to make Mondays meatless in my house and made this for dinner the other day. 4 of the 5 of us really really liked it...the 5th one is tough with anything that isn't a meat-lover's pizza. I used ingredients I already had, so some slight changes. Skipped the red pepper since I didn't have one and swapped normal goat cheese for fig goat cheese. Was hesitant about that swap but it worked. Shredded the sweet potato in the food processor. Pros: Meatless, easy, kid-friendly Cons: None

Delicious! Flavoursome!After reading other user comments, I was a bit afraid to follow the recipe as given. I was tempted to try adding flavour as so many other users recommended. I resisted and am so happy. This was an amazing dish - so quick to prepare and I think the flavours are not only strong but delicious! For those who called the dish bland, I can only assume they were either not using real goat cheese, or not using fresh tarragon. The combination of these two ingredients was just amazing. And I was wary - I really wanted a more traditional italian herb to use ie: oregano or thyme. I'm very glad I didn't. The dish was perfect. Can't wait to have it again.Pros: Really quick, easy, delicious

Thought it was great! Added 1/4 cup of onion based on reviews, but not sure if it needed it. It does have a very mild flavor that I love!

This dish was so good. I used thyme instead of tarragon, feta instead of goat cheese and a little crushed red pepper on top for some spice. The taste and texture is so different from your everyday meal that it was truely a memorable meal. I will definitely make this again. It is the season for sweet potatoes...you got to make this one!

So fast and easy. The kids loved it. Debbie, Boca Raton, FL
