Sweet Potato Noodles with Cashew Sauce Recipe

Have you ever tried sweet potato noodles? It’s really one of my favorite summer dishes when I’m craving pasta and veggies! Actually, I’ve already shared this recipe for sweet potato noodles with cashew sauce (vegan alfredo) on my blog two years ago. But, because it’s summer and I’ve found myself making veggie noodles more often, I came up with the idea of updating this simple, delicious and healthy pasta recipe with new pics and some information in the text for you!

Healthy Veggie Pasta

Besides sweet potato noodles, I also like making zucchini noodles „zoodles“ or carrot noodles, as I did in my vegan Pad Thai recipe. Anyway, I find that veggie noodles made of sweet potatoes are more satisfying because they’re rich in complex carbohydrates. What I also like is to combine different vegetable varieties making it into a yummy rainbow pasta vitamin bomb!

How to make Sweet Potato Noodles

To make the noodles, simply peel 2 medium sweet potatoes and spiralize them. Since sweet potatoes are a bit difficult to cut, I prefer using an electric spiralizer but it’s totally up to you which one you would like to use. And if you don’t have a spiralizer, I definitely recommend buying one. It’s really worth it if you want to eat veggie noodles more often.

How to make Cashew Sauce

Also, the 5-minute Cashew Sauce comes together super quick and easy! It’s one of my go-to recipes when I want a creamy vegan Alfredo sauce in a matter of minutes! Actually, it is just made of cashews blended with garlic, nutritional yeast, salt, and a little non-dairy milk. That’s it! The preparation is really so easy, so creamy, cheesy and totally delicious! You can serve it with any kind of pasta, but also with rice, potatoes, vegetables and whatever you would like to serve with a creamy vegan cheese sauce!

When your sweet potato noodles and the vegan alfredo sauce are prepared, sauté the noodles in a skillet until tender. Then combine with spinach and the sauce. The noodles will cook up quickly and provide a delicious sweetness which fits perfectly with the creamy cashew sauce.

Toppings for Veggie Noodles

Additional toppings are totally up to you. You can really get creative with the ingredients in this recipe to make the flavors and textures exciting. You can garnish your pasta dish with fresh basil, or toasted pine nuts, vegan parmesan cheese, cashew mozzarella or cashew ricotta and much more. I‘m sure it’ll be also very delicious when you add some sautéed garlic mushrooms or oven roasted tomatoes.

Sweet Potato Noodles

• 2 sweet potatoes
• 2-3 cups baby spinach 100g
• 1 tbsp oil

Cashew Sauce

• 3/4 cup cashews 90g

Instructions 

Cashew Sauce

Sweet Potato Noodles

• Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the sweet potato noodles and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes, gently tossing occasionally.
• Add the spinach and the cashew sauce, tossing to combine. Add more water if needed and season with salt and pepper to taste. Top with fresh herbs or other toppings you like (*read my blogpost for suggestions).
• Enjoy!
