Bow Ties with Sweet Potatoes and Bacon Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • In a large frying pan, heat the oil over moderately low heat.
  • Add the onion and sweet potato and toss to coat with the oil.
  • Add the water, cover, and cook until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the sage, cayenne, salt, and tomatoes.
  • Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the sweet potato is tender and the sauce thickened, about 15 minutes.
  • Add the Canadian bacon and remove from the heat.
  • In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the bow ties until just done, about 15 minutes. Drain and toss the pasta with the sauce.
  • Variations: Bow Ties with Sweet Potatoes and Ham: Dice 1/2 pound of ham and use it in place of the Canadian bacon.
  • Bow Ties with Canadian Bacon and Squash: Peel and dice 1/2 pound of winter squash, such as butternut or Hubbard, and use it in place of the sweet potato.
  • Depending on the type of squash, you may need to adjust the simmering time by a few minutes.
  • Wine Recommendation: To match the sweetness of both the potato and the Canadian bacon, try a kabinett riesling from Germany's Mosel-Saar-Ruwer region.
