Instructions

Chop the sweet potato into 3 large pieces. Put them in a pot, cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook for about 15 mins. (Make sure to reserve the water from the cooking as it will be used to make the sauce)
Meanwhile, cook your pasta according to package instructions.
In a blender combine all ingredients for the sauce (boiled sweet potato, onion, garlic, cashews, water from the cooked sweet potato, soy sauce, and seasoning). Blend for several minutes until creamy.
Drain your pasta. Place it in a casserole dish and pour the sweet potato sauce on top. Stir everything well.
Optional: You can bake the sweet potato mac and cheese at 400°F (200°C) for 8 mins. It will thicken even more.
Serve immediately as it is or sprinkle with some Quick Dairy-free Parmesan and enjoy!

Notes

If you are gluten-free, make this Sweet Potato Mac And Cheese using gluten-free pasta.
Cashew substitutions: sunflower seeds, silken tofu, white beans, like cannellini or navy beans, or coconut milk.

The sauce thickens with time so you can easily fix it by adding a little warm water and stirring it. You can reheat it this way and it will be perfect.
