Pasta cremosa con tahini de 6 ingredientes

Ingredientes

• 7 oz your favourite pasta (200g)
• 3 tbsp tahini
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 lemon, zested
• 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 1/2-3/4 tsp salt
• Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
• basil leaves, to decorate

Preparación

1. 1

   Boil pasta as per package instructions. When cooked, scoop out 1 cup cooking water, before rinsing and draining.

2. 2

   While pasta cooks, make sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, garlic, olive oil, lemon zest, nutritional yeast, salt and (if using) red pepper flakes.

3. 3

   Warm a large pot or skillet on medium-low heat. Add sauce and ½ cup reserved pasta water. Cook while stirring constantly until water has been absorbed (1-2 minutes).

4. 4

   Stir in ¼ cup more of pasta water, and cook sauce for another 1-2 minutes until smooth. (If it looks too thick, add a splash of remaining pasta water - otherwise discard it.)

5. 5

   Stir pasta and basil leaves into sauce, and divide between bowls. Decorate with extra basil leaves and chili flakes, if desired.
