Sweet Potato with Sausage Meatball Marinara, Sweet Potato with Sausage Meatball Marinara
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This sweet potato with sausage meatball marinara featured in the September 2018 BBC Good Food magazine, along with 3 other fillings for baked sweet potatoes.   So far, this is the first one i've made...and oh my goodness...it's a GOOD one!!!!

The marinara sauce is so full of flavour and I found that the passata didn't need any extra seasoning on top of the ketchup, herbs and spices.

The filling is really quick and easy to make and can be cooked near the end of the cooking time of the sweet potato, or can be made ahead and kept warm or heated up.

It's definitely a keeper!

Tips

  • The meatballs and sauce would be delicious with pasta too!
  • This sweet potato with sausage meatball marinara recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
