Dinner upgrade: plant-based mac & cheese with nowfoodsofficial pasta #ad 😋

Serves 4 (with extra sauce):
1 sweet potato cut into 1-inch cubes
½ medium yellow onion, roughly chopped
8 oz nowfoodsofficial Organic Multigrain and Cauliflower Rotini, or any short pasta noodle
½ cup raw cashews
⅓ cup nutritional yeast
½ cup canned coconut milk
Juice of 1 lemon
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus additional as needed
.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. There should be enough water in the pot to cover the sweet potato by at least 1 inch. Add the sweet potato and onion. Decrease the heat to medium-high and cook the vegetables until the sweet potato can be pierced with a fork, about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain the sweet potato and onion. 
While the veggies are cooking, you can cook your pasta. Reserve 1/2 cup cooked pasta water before draining the pasta. 
Blend the cooked sweet potato and onion with nutritional yeast, cashews, coconut milk, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt and 1/4 cup of the pasta water. Add more water to reach your desired consistency. If the sauce isn’t hot enough, you can reheat it in a saucepan over medium heat before serving. 
Add the cooked pasta to a large serving bowl and spoon your desired amount of sauce on top.
Mix well to coat the noodles in the sauce. Add additional salt to taste.
