The combination of potatoes and pasta in one dish is not unusual in Italy. In Liguria, string beans and cubes of cooked potatoes are served on pasta, traditionally with pesto. In Naples, ditalini with peas and cubed potatoes is a standard. In this pasta recipe, instead of regular potatoes, I use sweet potatoes, which makes the recipe nutritionally more balanced. The sweetness of the potatoes is tamed by the saltiness and complexity of the capers, which makes for a delicious and nutritious plate of pasta. Buon Gusto!#LidiasRecipes #LidiasItaly #LidiasKitchen #LidiaBastianich #ItalianFood #FromLidiasTableToYours #LidiasOliveOil
