Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato peeled
- 1 Tbsp olive oil 15 mL
- 2 Tbsp pine nuts 20 g
- 4 oz Gorgonzola cheese 113 g
- ¼ cup heavy cream 60 mL
- ½ cup dried cranberries 60 g
Instructions
- Cut Noodles: Peel skin from potato. Use a mandolin slicer or large knife to cut potato into long, thin slabs. Slice each slab into fettuccine-shaped noodles (stack a few slabs to make this go faster).
- Toast Pine Nuts: In a small saute pan, toast pine nuts over medium heat until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Cook Noodles: In a large saute pan, heat oil over medium heat and add sweet potato noodles. Cook covered, stirring frequently, until noodles are slightly tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Warm Sauce: In a small sauce pan, heat gorgonzola and cream over medium-low heat until cheese has melted and mixture is warm. Remove from heat and stir in cranberries.
- Serve: Toss everything together and serve warm.

Notes
- This sweet potato fettuccine is best served fresh from the pan, but can be stored for about 2 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
