  • 250 g Conchiglioni Rigati pasta (these are giant pasta shells)
  • 3 medium sweet potatoes
  • 4 cups spinach

  • Peel the sweet potatoes and chop them into chunks of around 1.5 inches.
  • Cook the pasta according to package instructions
  • Boil the sweet potatoes until they're cooked through and soft.
  • Mash the sweet potato, and mix in the soft cheese and spinach
  • In a separate bowl mix a tin of chopped tomatoes, mixed herbs, salt, pepper and paprika
  • Pour the tomato mixture into a baking dish
  • Spoon the sweet potato, cheese and spinach mixture into each pasta shell until it is just overflowing and lay in the dish with the open part of the pasta shell facing upwards.
  • Once you have fit as many pasta shells as you can into the oven dish pop it in the oven for 10 minutes.
