Sweet Potato and Spinach Mac and Cheese
from Naturally Ella.com
This is a delicious take on the basic mac and cheese – great way to get some extra nutrition in this comfort food!
Ingredients
1 medium sweet potato
3 cups whole wheat pasta
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
2 cloves garlic, minced
1½ cup milk
¾ cup mozzarella cheese
¾ cup asiago cheese
½ cup parmesan cheese
2 handfuls spinach
Instructions
Peel and cube sweet potato. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add sweet potato, and cook until tender, 8-12 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly. Place cooked sweet potato in a food processor with ¼ cup of milk. Pulse until smooth and set aside.
Bring a pot of water to a boil again and cook pasta for 5-6 minutes. Pasta should still be al dente (and not overcooked!) Drain and set aside.
Mix together cheese and set aside.
Preheat oven to 400?.
In a sauce pan, melt butter and add garlic, cooking for 1 minute. Whisk in flour and let cook for another 1-2 minutes to cook out flour taste. Whisk in 1¼ cup of milk and cook until mixture begins to thicken. Whisk in sweet potato puree and continue to cook until hot. Remove from heat and add 1½ cups of cheese mixture.
In a large casserole dish, add pasta, spinach, and cheese sauce. Toss until spinach is slightly wilted and cheese is mixture in. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Bake for 25-35 minutes- cheese on top should be browning.
Market News
Hello!
It’s been a beautiful few days – how wonderful to see the sun and feel some warmth! It is nice for the crops to have some higher temperatures for some good growing time. And it makes all the winter chores much more pleasant.
We have a nice selection of veggies for you this week. We do know that quantity is lower this time of year, so you may find an item you want “Sold Out”. Please let us know in the comments section of your order if you want an item that is sold out, and we will try to get it for you and add it to your bag!
Please support our other vendors that work so hard to provide you with top quality products! We have goat milk soap and lip balm from Little Seed Farm, baked goods from Dozen Bakery, a wonderful selection of cheeses from The Bloomy Rind Cheese shop, and of course our wonderful meat vendors, Wedge Oak farm and Bear Creek.
We also still carry Twin Forks Farm granola, although they are no longer baking bread.
Let’s hope the weather stays mild!
Thanks so much for your support, and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!
John and Tallahassee
