The first time we tried this recipe, we were really impressed with how it turned out.

This meal cost $5 per serve which is such a bargain. The sweet potato mash perfectly balances the creaminess and doesn’t leave you in a food coma, like a big bowl of pasta might.

Since we’re here to impress, make sure that you do not skip out on the fresh garlic or parsley, as it really makes a difference.
