1 large sweet potato

1/4 tsp salt

1 TSB olive oil
1 bowl of whole wheat penne, dry
3 cups baby spinach
1 tsp diced garlic

Transfer to baking sheet with tin foil and sprinkle some more brown sugar on top if needed or if it didn't coat well.

Put cooked spinach in a bowl and cover to keep warm. Once the pasta is finished add it to that bowl, mix with the spinach, cover again. One the sweet potatoes are finished add to the pasta, mix together, garnish each with 1 TBS Parmesan.
