Tahini Pasta
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.
