Ingredients




1/4 cup butter
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into ½ inch cubes (about 2 cups)
1/2 head radicchio, cored and thinly sliced
250 grams zebra linguine
Salt and fresh ground pepper
Grated Parmesan cheese for topping

Preparation

1 Melt butter in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat, then continue to cook until it is golden brown (about 2 min). Add sweet potatoes and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender, 6 to 8 min. Reduce heat to low, add radicchio and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring, until radicchio is wilted and just tender (about 3 min). 2 Meanwhile, cook pasta in a pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain pasta and top with sweet potato mixture, or add the pasta to the mixture and stir to combine. 3 Serve topped with the grated Parmesan.
