This is my current favorite pasta recipe for a few reasons. First, the sauce is so creamy without any cream or butter. Second, this is a blender pasta sauce. Simply use a food processor or blender to make the sauce. No need to even cook the sauce. Lastly, recipe can easily be made vegan friendly and low carb with simple swaps. I will add instructions below.

After you make this tahini pasta, try out a couple more of my healthy tahini recipes. Paleo Chocolate Chip Tahini Blondies and Sweet Potato and Chickpea Salad with Tahini Orange Dressing are two of my favorites!

Equipment

  • food processor or blender

Ingredients
  

  • ⅓ cup tahini - make sure it's creamy and drippy
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened canned light coconut milk
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • juice of one lemon
  • 1 small garlic clove
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
  • 5 sun-dried tomatoes
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 8 oz pasta of choice
  • ⅓ cup frozen peas

Instructions
 

  • Toss all ingredients into a food processor except for the salt & pepper, pasta and peas.
  • Blend until smooth and creamy. There will be small pieces of sun-dried tomatoes throughout the sauce which I love! Add salt & pepper to taste.
  • Boil pasta of choice according to the package's instructions. Toss in the frozen peas as the pasta is boiling.
  • Once the pasta is cooked through, drain the pasta and peas.
  • Combine the sauce with the pasta and peas in a bowl. The warmth of the pasta and peas will warm the sauce.
  • Serve with extra grated parmesan and fresh cracked pepper!

    Hi this looks so yummy! Would I be able to swap the coconut milk for just regular milk?

      Hi Ruby! The canned coconut milk is thicker than regular milk which contributes to the creamy sauce. I am not sure you will achieve the same texture with regular milk.
