This is a terrible recipe. The dish turned out monotone and flat. There is no depth of flavor. I am currently doctoring it with some additional seasoning and much more Parmesan. I wish I had some pancetta on hand because I think that would improve it greatly. I was looking for something to do with the leftover sweet potatoes... Hopefully, I find something else next year.

This was absolutely the worst recipe I've ever tried! What a waste of ingredients. I should have known that the combination didn't jive! Beware of this recipe

The flavor of the fennel goes well with the sweet potatoes and rosemary and not too overpowering. This is a creamy pasta entree that's also healthy.
