Italian Sweet Potato dish...

I find myself craving this dish. A friend of mine made this for us one night and I decided to try and recreate it here at home.

Recipe:

2 Sweet potatoes cubed
1 chopped onion
3 cloves of Garlic finely chopped
1 Green Bell Pepper chopped
2 large cans of organic stewed tomatos
1 lb of pesto tortellini
grated Mozzarrella Cheese

Italian season fresh or dried
Salt and pepper


Saute onion, garlic and bell pepper until onion is translucent. Add in the sweet potatoes and stewed tomatoes. Season with Italian season, salt and pepper to taste. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes. In the meantime, prepare the tortellini as directed on the package but cook only until al dente. Once the sweet potatoes are fork tender fold in the drained and cooked tortellini. Simmer for about 10 minutes. Plate and top with grated Mozzarella cheese. This makes enough for 2 family dinners and a few lunches. YUM!

This would also be good with a meat filled tortellini.
