Sweet Potato Cottage Pie Recipe

This dish is a fantastic combination of tastes – sweet and savoury – and textures – grainy and creamy smooth. The idea for it popped into my head out of the blue one day and I’ve never looked back. I’m afraid ordinary cottage pie just doesn’t measure up any more! Plus this version is more paleo, if you’re that way inclined.

If you use a full quantity of bolognaise sauce and make the whole recipe, it will easily serve at least 4 people. It’s a great stand-by for a 1- or 2-person meal though when you have some bolognaise sauce left over in the fridge/freezer and a sweet potato or two hanging around, especially as the prep time is then very minimal.

Bolognaise Sauce

This is one of the most comforting sauces of all time, it’s not too expensive and you can use it in so many ways! I sometimes make a big batch and use it for different things, storing the various dishes in the freezer until I need them.
