Tonight we watched Knocked up and made dinner together from our Vegan yum yum book.
3 cups spiral pasta
1 head of kale chopped
1 1/2 pounds sweet potato
Sauce:
1 1/4 C non dairy milk
1/3 C raw cashews ( we soaked mine for about 10 minutes so they would blend better)

1/3 C nutritional yeast
3 T tamari (we used amino acid)
2 T earth balance margarine
1 T tahini
1T lemon juice
1/2 t dijon mustard
1/4 t powdered ginger (we used fresh)
1 pinch nutmeg
3/4 t dried thyme
1/2 t paprika
black pepper to taste bread crumbs for topping (optional)
1) preheat oven to 450
2) cook pasta but right before it's done cooking add the chopped kale and let it wilt (happens pretty quickly) -drain when done
3) Boil chopped sweet potatoes til they are tender but not falling apart - drain when done

5) mix together the sweet potatoes, pasta with kale, and sauce. Add to a baking dish and top with bread crumbs. Cook for 25 minutes.
