Creamy pasta sauce made from tahini!

I love tahini! Whether in hummus, as a salad dressing, in sauces or even in sweet recipes – tahini cannot be missing from my pantry! Tahini (or tahin / tahina) is made from peeled or unpeeled sesame and is therefore a sesame paste. I mostly use sesame paste made from peeled sesame (white tahini) because it tastes milder.

When it has to be made quickly, I often rely on sesame noodles. A creamy pasta sauce made from tahini in combination with rice noodles that do not need to be cooked! It couldn’t be easier + more delicious! The tahini pasta is not only quick to make, you also only need a few ingredients, which you usually already have at home – perfect!

The vegan tahini pasta sauce is super creamy and delicious, slightly spicy and sweet thanks to sambal oelek and agave syrup, and lime juice rounds it off – the perfect combination!

Vegan Tahini Pasta – the details

The recipe is quick and easy to make.

Prepare the pasta according to the instructions on the packet. I used rice noodles which simply have hot water poured over them and soak for about 10 minutes.

In the meantime, prepare the sauce. In a blender, puree the tahini, soy sauce, sesame oil, agave syrup or maple syrup, sambal oelek, fresh ginger, garlic and lime juice until creamy. Add enough water until the sauce is creamy.

Mix the sauce with the pasta and serve with roasted sesame seeds! The simple pasta dish with a delicious tahini sauce is ready!

It goes well with falafel or vegetables.
