Ingredients:

                    === SWEET POTATO SAUCE ===
1     tablespoon    light olive oil
1     medium        onion
2                   garlic cloves
2     cups          diced sweet potato - (to 2 1/2)
1     cup           low-fat milk, rice milk, or soymilk
1/2   teaspoon      salt
                    === PASTA ===
1     pound         spinach or tri-color cheese tortellini or
1     small         cheese ravioli
                    = (or try vegetable or tofu-filled
                    tortellini or ravioli)
                    Minced fresh parsley for garnish

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

Heat the oil in a medium saucepan. Add the onion and garlic and sauté over medium-low heat until golden. Add the diced sweet potato and just enough water to cover. Bring to a simmer, then cover and simmer gently until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
Transfer the mixture from the saucepan, including the liquid, to a food processor. Add the remaining sauce ingredients and process until smoothly pureed. Transfer back to the saucepan and set aside, covered, off the heat.
Cook the tortellini in plenty of rapidly simmering water until al dente. Drain, then stir them into the sweet potato sauce. Heat gently and briefly, just until well heated through.
Serve, garnishing each serving with some parsley, if desired.
This recipe yields 4 servings.
