• temps actif: 10 minutes
• temps total: 20 minutes

Ingrédients

8 ounces pasta (such as star, ABC, pastina, or ditalini)

14 ½ ounce can crushed tomatoes with basil (or marinara sauce)

1 cup white beans (rinsed and drained)

1/2 cup mashed sweet potato puree (or butternut squash puree or pumpkin puree)

1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 tablespoon olive oil

salt, onion powder, garlic powder (optional to taste)

grated Parmesan (optional to taste)

Instructions

Add the tomatoes, beans, sweet potato, and Italian seasoning to a blender. Blend smooth.

Add the olive oil to a medium pot over medium heat. Stir in the tomato mixture and warm through, stirring occasionally, for about 5-10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and additional spices for more flavor as you like.

(You can also warm a small amount of sauce in a heat-safe bowl in the microwave If you're just making one serving.)

Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain.

Return the pasta to the pot. Stir as little or as much of the sauce into the pasta and top with grated Parmesan if desired. (You may have some sauce leftover.)

Serve warm or portion into storage containers to serve throughout the week.
