Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz rigatoni pasta
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 oz goat cheese
  • 1/2 cup reserved pasta water
  • 10–12 fresh sage leaves
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan or Pecorino cheese
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Fresh thyme or parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss cubed sweet potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast 25–30 minutes until golden and caramelized.
  2. Boil pasta in salted water until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain.
  3. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium. Fry sage leaves for 30–60 seconds until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel to drain.
  4. In the same skillet, sauté garlic in sage oil until fragrant (30 seconds). Reduce heat, add goat cheese and a splash of pasta water, whisking until creamy.
  5. Add pasta to the skillet, tossing in the sauce. Stir in roasted sweet potatoes and more pasta water as needed. Season with red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
  6. Serve in bowls, garnished with crispy sage, grated cheese, lemon zest, and herbs.
