For sauce:
1 cup steamed sweet potato chunks
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or unsweetened non-dairy milk of choice)
1 teaspoon dried basil
2 cloves garlic
1 roasted red pepper, skin removed
1/2 teaspoon salt
For pasta:
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled
1 teaspoon coconut oil (or butter)
1 cup chopped asparagus
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
Salt (optional)
Pepper (optional)

Steps:

1. Combine sauce ingredients in a blender or food processor, and blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust flavor to taste, if necessary. 2. Spiralize sweet potatoes (or use a regular vegetable peeler to make fettuccini-like noodles). Pour coconut oil into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add asparagus and mushrooms and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add sweet potato and sauté until crisp-tender. Pour sauce over noodles and vegetables, and toss to coat well. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
