Bring two large pots of water to a boil. To one pot add the pasta, and to the other add the sweet potato, cauliflower and cashews - cook until fork tender (about 10 minutes).
Preheat oven to 525 F on broil.
Strain pasta (save 2 cups of the pasta water and add into high speed blender like a Vitamix) and then add cooked pasta into a casserole dish.
Strain the potatoes, cauliflower and cashews and then add into blender.
Add the rest of the sauce ingredients into the blender and blend on high until completely smooth! There should be no chunks.
Pour sauce over pasta and mix well. Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top and put in oven on top rack. Watch it carefully - bake until golden brown on top (5-10 minutes).
Garnish with parsley and enjoy! Serve immediately.
