Instructions
-
Use a fork to poke holes into 1 sweet potato. Wrap the sweet potato in a damp paper towel and microwave on high for about 10 to 12 minutes, until fork-tender.
-
Peel and dice the other sweet potato into ½-inch cubes.
-
Carefully scoop the pulp of the cooked sweet potato into a food processor or blender. Add about 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper and blend under smooth. Add a splash of water if the puree is too thick.
-
In a pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the mushrooms. Cook for about 3 minutes until the mushrooms start to crisp.
-
Add 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper to the mushrooms and remove from the heat. Drain the mushrooms of excess oil in a paper towel-lined bowl.
-
Add 6 tablespoons of the butter and sage to the pan and cook until brown bits start to form on the bottom, being very careful to not burn the butter.
-
Once slightly brown, remove the sage and add the cubed sweet potato and 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the potato becomes tender.
-
Stir in the reserved purée and chicken stock. Simmer for about 2 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly and the mixture comes together smoothly.
-
Add the penne and mushrooms and coat evenly in the sauce.
-
Finish the pasta with 1 tablespoon of butter, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and sherry wine vinegar, stirring to combine. Remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese.
-
Serve warm, garnished with chives, crushed amaretti cookies, and more Parmesan.
