8 ounces whole-wheat spaghetti
1 (5-ounce) package baby spinach, coarsely chopped (about 6 cups)

1 small yellow onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
¾ teaspoon salt
2 (8-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into ¾-inch pieces
¾ teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
½ cup dry white wine
½ cup water
¾ cup heavy cream
⅓ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

Stir in ¾ cup cream; cook until the sauce begins to bubble around the edges and is slightly thickened, 2 to 4 minutes. Add the pasta mixture; toss to coat. Remove from heat. Add ⅓ cup Parmesan; toss to incorporate, adding the reserved ¼ cup cooking water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to loosen, if needed. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons basil.

Take sloppy Joes to a new level with tender sweet potatoes standing in for the bun. Sweet potatoes pair perfectly with the tangy, flavorful filling of ground beef, black beans and spices. Chopped dill pickle sprinkled on top adds crunch to this quick weeknight dinner the whole family will love.

Ingredients
2 sweet potatoes (about 1 pound each)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
12 ounces lean ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup reduced-sodium black beans, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon chili powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 cup tomato sauce
3 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard
1 teaspoon light brown sugar
3 tablespoons chopped dill pickle (Optional)

Directions
Prick sweet potatoes with a fork in several places. Microwave on High until tender all the way to the center, 12 to 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until lightly browned but not completely cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the beef to a medium bowl, reserving drippings in the pan.

Add onion to the pan; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add beans, chili powder, garlic powder and onion powder; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire, mustard and brown sugar. Return the beef to the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until the beef is just cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes.

Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise. Press open to make a well in the center of each half. Divide the mixture between the halves. Top with chopped pickle, if desired.
