Ingredients

8 ounces pasta, whole wheat spaghettini or spagetti
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice
1 tablespoon tarragon fresh chopped, or basil
2 tablespoons parsley sprigs fresh, chopped
1/2 cup water
1 cup italian plum (roma) tomatoes diced
1 large sweet red bell pepper thinly sliced
3 cups sweet potatoes, or yams shredded (about one potato)
4 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons olive oil, extra-virgin divided
1/2 cup goat (chevre) cheese crumbled

Directions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook pasta until just tender according to package directions.

Meanwhile, place 1 tablespoon of the oil and garlic in a large skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add sweet potato, tomatoes, water and bell pepper. Stirring occasionally, until the pepper is tender-crisp, about 6 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover and keep warm.

Return drained pasta to the pot, add the vegetable mixture, the remaining one teaspoon of oil, vinegar (or lemon juice), herbs, salt, pepper and cheese. Toss to combine. Add water 2 tablespoons at a time to achieve your desired consistency.

Great combination of flavors, the sweet flavor of the red bell pepper and the sweet potato complimented the goat cheese nicely. Easy main dish, I served it with a garden salad.
