Ingredients
- 2 cups uncooked whole grain, gluten-free pasta
- 2 medium yams

- ¼ cup cashew butter
- 1 cup water, as needed

Method
- Cook the pasta according to the package directions.
- Wash and peel the yams, then cut into ½-inch pieces and steam for 10 minutes or until tender. Set aside a handful of pieces. Blend the rest of the yam with the remaining cheese sauce ingredients until the mixture is smooth and thick enough to hold its shape, adding water as needed.

Enjoy!
