Method

Boil the sweet potatoes and peeled garlic clove in a pan over a medium-high heat with the lid on for 10-15 mins until the potato is really tender and falls off a fork easily when pierced. Drain well.
Finely chop the blanched garlic clove, then tip back into the pan with the drained sweet potatoes. Add the Parmesan and double cream, then blend to a smooth, thick sauce using a stick blender.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to pack instructions, adding the spinach to the pan for the last 3 mins. Drain well, reserving 100ml of the pasta water. Tip the spaghetti and spinach into the sweet potato sauce and add the reserved water. Toss everything together until the spaghetti is well coated. Season, then pile into bowls with more Parmesan grated over the top.
