Vegan Mac and Cheeze

By Kitchengrrrls @kitchengrrrls
Who doesn't love the comfort that mac and cheese provides? This version packs in veggies - sweet potato specifically - to create a creamy, cheese-like sauce of deliciousness to pour over macaroni or any other fun shape of pasta. The roasted heirloom cherry tomatoes were a delicious addition to this rendition of mac and cheeze, sort of like a deconstructed ketchup (oh, how fancy).  Vegan Mac and Cheeze

Cover, turn to medium-low and let steam for 10 minutes or until tender. Meanwhile, add the remaining ingredients, except pasta, into a blender and whirl on high until the mixture is smooth. When the sweet potatoes are done steaming, add them to the blender as well and whirl on high again for about a minute or so. Add water as needed to achieve the desired viscosity. Stir in as little or as much sauce as wanted to the cooked pasta.
