Description

Creamy, rich and delicious with gluten free pasta and extra Parmesan.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup bone broth
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 lb. gluten free pasta (I used this brand)
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon gluten free flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 45 large leaves of kale, trimmed and sliced thinly (I used dinosaur kale)
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Add the bone broth, water, cubed sweet potatoes and a large pinch of salt, to a small to medium sauce pot. Bring to a boil and cover. Turn the heat to medium and cook for 6 minutes or until the sweet potato pieces are tender. Drain in a colander and let them sit in it until step 6.
  2. Bring a pasta pot full of water to a boil with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. When it boils add in the pasta and cook according to package instructions or until just al dente with still a bite to the pasta. Drain in a colander.
  3. Meanwhile, to make the cheese sauce melt the butter in a medium sauce pan or pot on medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 30 seconds.
  4. Slowly add in the milk while stirring with a whisk. When it begins to thicken turn the heat to low.
  5. Add in the kale and cheese. Fold in with a wooden spoon or spatula until fully combine. Turn the heat off.
  6. Add the sweet potatoes to a bowl or blender. Blend with a hand immersion blender or stand blender, until smooth. Add the sweet potato and smoked paprika, to the cheese and kale mixture.
  7. When the pasta is drained, add it to the cheese mixture. Toss to coat and combine everything.
  8. Garnish with more Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of smoked paprika. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use a sharp knife or fork to check the sweet potatoes. Make sure not to over cook them – you just want the knife or fork to be able to easily enter the center of the piece.
