Preparation
To serve:Red chili flakes Chopped kale, optional
In a medium saucepan begin sautéing garlic and sweet potato for 5-10 minutes. Meanwhile blend your hemp hearts, water, and broth together until a smooth “milk” forms. Set aside.
Add paprika, oregano, and salt to the sweet potatoes and saute for 30 seconds. Pour in hemp mixture and allow to simmer until potatoes are fork tender ~15-20 minutes
Begin boiling your pasta water and cook according to package. Reserve 1 cup pasta water to thin out sauce if needed.
