Tonights dinner was just okay. A little underwhelming. I think I may have hyped it up too much and now I'm disappointed. You can find the recipe here. I pretty much followed it to the T. The only sub I made was using jarred roasted red peppers instead of fresh. That cut down on a lot of time and work. Which I'm glad I did since I wasn't that impressed. I think I made a few mistakes with this one. I ran out of my bow tie noodles so I used the rest of my vermicelli noodles. Not a good choice of noodles when you need it to pick up the sauce. I also think I might not have cooked enough noodles. There was not only too much sauce but it was also too rich for me, I barely finished a 1/4 of my bowl and had enough. It wasn't that it tasted bad just missing something that I couldn't put my finger on. For seasoning I used salt/pepper, red pepper flakes and a little paprika.
The sweet potatoes were great. I wish I cubed them a little bigger and didn't bake as long because they were a little too soft and I was looking for something a litte tougher but they were still good. I chopped them up, sprinkled cinnamon, sugar and chili powder drizzled with olive oil and baked in the oven. I had this with a side of good bread. So all in all the bread was good, potatoes were great, pasta..eh...probably won't make it again.
