What Is Tahini?
Tahini (also called tahina)is a paste made from sesame seeds. It has a nutty flavor.
It's typically used in Middle Eastern cuisine. It is used in hummus recipes and Baba Ghanoush.
What's The Best Type of Pasta To Use?
You can use any pasta you like, but flat ribbon pasta works best with a creamy sauce. Examples of flat ribbon pastas are fettuccine, linguine, tagliatelle, and pappardelle. I used Pad Thai rice noodles.
🧾 Ingredients
- Noodles: I used Pad Thai rice noodles to keep this recipe gluten-free. Use your favorite pasta.
- Tahini: Adds a nutty flavor. You could also use sunflower seed butter or nut butter. It also tastes great in a Miso Tahini Dressing.
- Lemon juice: Adds a sour tangy flavor. I recommend freshly squeezed lemon juice instead of store-bought lemon juice. You could also use lime juice or rice vinegar.
- Garlic: Adds a pungent flavor.
- Ginger: Adds a spicy flavor. If you want to use ground ginger, you'll need a lot less.
- Maple syrup: Adds sweetness. You could use agave syrup or date paste.
- Tamari: I used low-sodium gluten-free tamari because I like to control the amount of sodium. You could also use low sodium soy sauce, liquid aminos, or coconut aminos.
- Salt and pepper: Enhances flavors and adds flavor. I like to use sea salt.
- Green onion (optional): For garnish. Adds a fresh, spicy, mild onion flavor.
- Red pepper flakes (optional): Adds a spicy flavor.
