I love making sweet potato noodles because sweet potatoes are a wonderful ingredient, and I can enjoy this delicious vegan lunch. You won’t really miss the cream or cheese, but if you like them, don’t be afraid to add them in too! My daughter says I should prepare this lunch often because it helps me stay young. I cut the sweet potatoes with a mandolin slicer, but you can also use a potato peeler. You might not get the beautiful slices, but they’ll be perfect.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cashews. It’s better if they’re raw, but you can also use them toasted
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Directions

  • 1
    Put the cashews into a bowl with water for at least four hours.
  • 2
    Drain the cashews and put them in a blender with salt, pepper, apple vinegar and a cup of water. Blend until you get a slightly thick cream. If you need more water, add it slowly. Save it.

    Cut the sweet potatoes into thin fettuccine-like noodles using the mandolin. Steam them for 2-3 minutes. They need to be soft but firm. Be careful so they don’t break apart.
