Creamy Lemon Tahini Pasta
$5.76 recipe, $1.44 serving
Tahini pasta with lemon is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor and made with simple ingredients. The tahini pasta sauce is rich, creamy and bright and pairs well with pasta, veggies or even roasted potatoes. Make a large batch during meal prep for quick and easy weekday lunches.
Chop the broccoli florets into small, bite size pieces.
Bring the water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to directions on box (about 7 minutes).
While pasta is cooking combine the tahini, water, lemon juice, garlic powder and salt in a blender until smooth.
Preheat a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, Spray the skillet with non-stick (optional) and add the broccoli florets and peas to the skillet. Cook well 5-6 minutes.
When pasta is done cooking, drain the water and add it right back to the pot. Pour the pasta sauce directly over the pasta and stir well.
Once the broccoli and peas are done cooking (the broccoli looks green and is tender and the peas have defrosted), add them to the pasta and creamy tahini sauce. Stir well.
Serve hot or at room temperature.
Notes
Tips:
Make the tahini pasta sauce up to 3 days in advance so you have it on hand when you are ready to cook your pasta.
Be sure to stir the tahini well before using. The oil at the top of the container needs to be well incorporated with the sesame seed paste or the tahini sauce will be dry.
Store leftover lemon tahini pasta in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
