Ingredients

  • 2 sweet potatoes spiralized into ribbons

For Alfredo Sauce:

  • 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup raw cashews soaked overnight and drained
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 2 tablespoons brown rice flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 bag frozen mixed vegetables
  • 1/2 cup parsley chopped, for serving

Instructions

  • Combine all the sauce ingredients in a blender. Blend until very smooth. It will be runny and will thicken up while cooking.
  • Add the sauce to a large pan over high heat. Mix in the frozen vegetables. Once it starts bubbling all over, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook 3-4 minutes whisking continually until thickened, otherwise the flour will clump. Make sure not to overcook the sauce, because it will thicken up a lot as it's cooking.
  • If you don't like the flavor or texture of raw sweet potato, saute the sweet potato ribbons for a couple of minutes in a pan with a 1/4 cup or so of water. Divide in pasta bowls, add the sauce and serve sprinkled with chopped parsley.
