I didn't have any spinach

Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Peel & dice the sweet potatoes.
Toss potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil and salt and pepper.
Spread potatoes on baking sheet (probably want non-stick spray) and roast for 30 minutes until browned and soft.
In a skillet on medium heat, place the oil, leeks & rosemary and cook for about 7 minutes until the leeks are soft and golden.
Cook pasta per package directions and drain.
Combine pasta, sweet potatoes, oil mixture (with leeks & rosemary), butter & feta.
Toss until fully combined.
Serve over spinach leaves and sprinkle with grated parmesan & black pepper.
