Equipment

  • Hand Blender
  • Stovetop Pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small white onion, diced
  • 1 cup boiled sweet potato peeled
  • 1 cup cashew milk
  • ⅓ cup nutritional yeast (nooch)
  • ½ tsp lemon juice
  • Pinch ground turmeric
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • 1 cup uncooked elbow macaroni, cooked to al dente
  • salt, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Place a stovetop pan on medium high heat.
  • Add the oil, then when it's hot add the garlic and onions. Stir these around for a few minutes, until the onions are becoming soft. When you taste a piece, the bitterness should be gone from the onion.
  • Once this is ready, add in the boiled sweet potato and stir it around for another minute.
  • Using a hand blender, add all ingredients into the pan (except the macaroni) and blend until a sauce forms.
  • Turn the heat to medium-low. Add the cooked macaroni to the original pan and stir to coat.
  • Once the macaroni is covered in sauce, serve hot!
