Why We Dig Sweetpotato Lasagna
Who doesn’t love a fantastic homemade Italian dish? Y’all know we do! So are you really surprised that we’re a little (or a lot!) obsessed with adding sweetpotatoes to lasagna? Whether you replace the pasta itself with little tubers, blend them up into a spread or just stuff them in the layers, sweetpotatoes are the perfect addition for your next pasta dinner. Even Chef Vivian Howard loves sweetpotato lasagna so much that she’s serving it up at her restaurant, Chef & The Farmer!
So in honor of National Lasagna Day, we’ve rounded up our favorite recipes for you to try at home. For starters, our Sweetpotato Pesto Lasagna Rolls are easy to make and are sure to please the whole family. Who knew sweetpotatoes and pesto are just such a great pair?
