Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 430°F (220°C). Toss diced sweet potatoes and minced garlic with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes.
  2. Boil a large pot of salted water. Cook your choice of short pasta until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve about 2/3 cup of pasta water before draining.
  3. Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Fry fresh sage leaves for 1-2 minutes until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel to drain.
  4. Add roasted sweet potatoes to the skillet. Mash half of them while keeping some chunks. Stir in roasted garlic.
  5. Combine drained pasta with sweet potato mixture. Pour in heavy cream and add crumbled goat cheese. Toss with reserved pasta water until desired consistency.
  6. Season the pasta with salt and pepper, serve topped with crispy sage leaves, Parmesan, and a drizzle of olive oil.
