Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Cover a large sheet pan with foil and spray with cooking spray. Move oven rack to the second highest slot.
- Poke each sweet potato 4-5 times with a fork and place on the prepared sheet pan. Roast for 45 minutes.
- Remove potatoes from oven and carefully slice open. Allow the steam to escape and then mash the flesh with a fork.
- Evenly distribute the tomato sauce, ¼ cup parmesan and Italian seasoning among the 4 sweet potatoes. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to each and carefully mix it in with the sweet potato flesh.
- Switch oven to broil (high), top each potato with 1 ounce of mozzarella and broil 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese has browned.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, toss the arugula with vinegar, oil, salt and pepper.
- Distribute salad evenly to 4 plates or shallow bowls. Top each with a sweet potato, then pine nuts, basil and red pepper flakes, if using.
