Dice your sweet potato and steam for 20 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork.
While steaming, prepare fusilli according to manufacturer’s instructions.
While everything is cookin’, toast your unsoaked sunflower seeds in a dry skillet heated to medium-high, for about 5 minutes. Sprinkle in a pinch of sea salt.
Once browned a bit, remove from heat and give them a rough chop.
Place steamed sweet potato and all sauce ingredients in the blender. Mix until ultra smooth.
Once fusilli is cooked, rinse well and transfer to a large glass bowl. Fold kale and sauce into noodles and mix well.
Serve warm in a bowl (reheat on the stovetop if need be) and top with your toasted sunflower seeds and some fresh cracked pepper.
Enjoy!
