- Preheat oven to 180 C / Gas 4. Grease a medium size baking dish.
- Cook sweet potatoes until soft. Drain well and mash. Mix in margarine, eggs and nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper.

- Repeat the layers and finish with layer of grated cheese, pine nuts and 1/2 of the Parmesan.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until pasta is cooked. Top with remaining Parmesan whilst still hot. Serve.
Parmesan cheese
Parmesan cheese is not truly vegetarian, as it contains animal rennet. To make this dish 100% vegetarian, omit the cheese or find a suitable vegetarian substitute made without animal rennet. In supermarkets look for the 'parmesan style hard cheeses' which are suitable for vegetarians.
