Sweet Potato/Pepper Pasta

Taken from Eatingwell.com, here's a nice autumn twist to the usual pasta dinner...

• Your preferred pasta noodle
  
• Olive oil
  
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
  
• 3 cups shredded, peeled sweet potato
  
• 1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
  
• 1/2 cup water
  
• Parsley and tarragon
  
• 1/2 cup crumbled cheese (Parmesan, goat cheese, etc)

Boil pasta as directed. Cook 1 Tbsp oil and the garlic in a large skillet for ~3-5 minutes. Add sweet potato, bell pepper, tomatoes and water and cook, stirring occasionally, until the bell pepper is tender-crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Add drained pasta to the skillet. Combine with 1/2 water, 1 Tbsp oil, cheese and seasonings.
