Ingredients

1 lb pasta

2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into small cubes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Spread onto a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and browned.

Step 3

While the sweet potatoes are roasting, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes or until they start to soften.

Step 5

Add the cooked pasta and roasted sweet potatoes to the skillet with the tomatoes. Toss everything together and add a little bit of reserved pasta water to help create a sauce.

Step 6

Stir in the crumbled feta cheese, then divide the pasta among plates. Top with chopped fresh parsley and serve.
