3 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, peeled
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh sage leaves (or substitute 1/2 teaspoon dried sage)
1 1/2 cups unsweetened milk of choice (I used oat milk)
3/4 teaspoon salt
pinch of black pepper

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Add 3 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped, 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, 2 garlic cloves, peeled, and 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh sage leaves to a baking dish.
Mix well to coat the sweet potatoes in oil.
Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes or until fork tender.
Add the cooked sweet potatoes, cooked garlic cloves, 1 1/2 cups unsweetened milk of choice, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and pinch of black pepper to a blender or food processor, then blend until smooth.
Reheat the sauce to your desired temperature, then toss with your favorite pasta.

Store this sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days or freeze it for up to three months.
Optional garnishes include fresh sage leaves or finely chopped chives.
