Ingredients

• 8 ounces whole-grain angel hair pasta
• 2 tablespoons  extra-virgin olive oil, divided

Directions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Cook pasta until just tender, 4 to 5 minutes or according to package directions.
Place 1 tablespoon oil and garlic in a large skillet.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is sizzling and fragrant, 2 to 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.
Remove from the heat; cover and keep warm.
Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
Return the pasta to the pot.
