1.) Fill a pot a little more than half way with water. Add a pinch of kosher salt. Bring to a boil.

3.) In a separate pot, heavily salt water and bring to a boil to cook pasta. Cook according to your package instructions. Set strained pasta aside back in the pot and off heat.
4.) Meanwhile saute diced 1/2 sweet onion in a small skillet on medium-low heat, with a little extra virgin olive oil or vegan butter, until onion is soft about 3-5 minute.
5.) Once sweet potato and carrot is cooked through add to Vitamix or Blender along with sautéed onion, 1 1/4 cups of Rice Milk, 1/2 cup of Nutritional Yeast, and Salt and Pepper to taste.
6.) Pour pureed mixture on top of cooked pasta in the pot. Add 1 tablespoon of vegan butter and stir through over low heat.
