Ingredients

  • 12 Ounces Pound Sweet Potato (about 1 large)
  • 3 Large Shallots or 1/2 Yellow Onion, sliced
  • 4 Cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 Tablespoons Nut Butter or 1/4 Cup Cashews
  • 1 Tablespoon Nutritional Yeast
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • Pinch Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1/2 Cup Non-Dairy Milk or Vegetable Broth
  • Pasta of choice, to serve

Instructions

  1. Microwave the sweet potato. Use a fork to pierce, then cook on high for 5-7 minutes, until soft. Alternatively, you can steam or bake in the oven. When cool enough to handle, remove the skins.
  2. In a small skillet, sauté the shallots for 5 minutes, until soft. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds.
  3. Transfer the cooked sweet potato, shallots and garlic mixture, nut butter, nutritional yeast, salt, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes to a blender. Blend, adding the milk until the sauce comes together.
  4. Season with more salt, to taste, and serve with your favorite pasta. Enjoy!
