This is a shepherd's pie with a twist, Gino uses sweet potatoes for the topping! Some milk, butter and parmesan went into the topping. The meat sauce was done in 50 minutes ~ it has chopped onions, carrots and button mushrooms, Gino said to use only FRESH basil leaves and not the dried stuff, a glass of dry red wine (an extra glass went into me!), and tinned tomatoes.
This portion was shared between DH and I this morning at breakfast!

Well, this yummy Italian Shepherd's Pie definitely 'too heavy' as breakfast for me. But I would love it as dinner on a romantic night!
