Quick and Simple Tahini Pasta Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces pasta of your choice
  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Red pepper flakes for garnish (optional)
  • Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine tahini, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Whisk the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.

  5. Add the cooked and drained pasta to the tahini sauce, tossing to coat the pasta evenly.
  6. Garnish with red pepper flakes and chopped parsley, if desired.
