This vegan sweet potato pasta sauce is a great way to get the creaminess of a classic alfredo sauce but in a lighter and vegan cheese sauce! The recipe is easy to make, dairy-free, gluten-free, and so healthy!

This easy and creamy pasta sauce tastes absolutely delicious you guys! It’s only made with sweet potatoes, cashews (coconut cream will do too), and some spices. That’s it! Actually, it’s the result of combining my favorite vegan cheese sauce recipes – Vegan Mac and Cheese, Pumpkin Mac and Cheese and my Vegan Alfredo Pasta sauce. Also, I opted to use sweet potatoes instead of using regular potatoes. Not only because I still had some left over from the Sweet Potato Gnocchi I made a while ago, but also because they have such a soft texture and such a delicious flavor with a delightful sweetness. And the best is, they’ll make your pasta sauce super creamy and yummy!
INGREDIENTS
Pasta:
- 12 oz any pasta (340 g) (gluten-free, if desired)
- chopped herbs (for garnish)
- 1 sweet potato (approx. 12 oz)
- ½ tbsp olive oil or coconut oil
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic chopped
- ½ cup soaked cashews (75 g) or cashew butter (or sub coconut cream)
- 2/3 cup water (160 ml)
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast flakes (optional)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
- ½ tsp sea salt or more to taste
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional)
- 1 tbsp oil
- 9 oz mushrooms (250 g) sliced
- 2 cloves garlic chopped (optional)
- salt and pepper to taste
- Soak the cashews for at least 3-4 hours. Otherwise, you can cover them with boiling water and soak for only approx. 15 minutes to speed up the process, or simply use cashew butter.
- Prick the sweet potato a few times with a fork and microwave until soft, for 6-7 minutes. (Optionally, bake the sweet potato in the oven at 425°F for about 50-60 minutes). Afterwards, peel it and scoop out the flesh.
- Cook pasta according to package directions in a salted pot of water.
