Ingredients
Sauce
- 2 small or 1 large sweet potato cooked
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup cashews soaked with hot water
- 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
- Juice of 1 large lemon
- 1 tbsp white miso paste
- 1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tbsp onion and garlic powder each
- Salt to taste
Plus
- macaroni or pasta of choice
- 1/2 to 1 cup pasta water
Instructions
- Start by preparing the sweet potato. Ideally you want to steam it as a whole. (* see notes)
- You can also peel, dice and boil it.
- Add sweet potato puree to a food processor or blender, along with soaked and rinsed cashews, coconut milk, lemon juice and all seasoning and blend until very smooth.
- Cook macaroni in the meantime and make sure to reserve 1 cup of cooking water before draining.
- Add enough of the pasta water to the sauce and blend until it reaches your desired consistency before mixing it with the hot pasta.
- Enjoy!
Notes
*I use the @instantpotofficial for this. Depending on the size of the sweet potatoes, 10 to 20 minutes manual setting.
Recipe makes enough sauce for 1 14 oz bag of macaroni.
