Pasta With Veggies In a Tahini and Yogurt Sauce Recipe

  • 1 (16 ounce) package wide egg noodles
  • 3 tablespoons tahini
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup yogurt, drained
  • 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 zucchini, thinly sliced
  • salt to taste
  • ground black pepper to taste
  1. Cook noodles in a large pot of boiling water until al dente. Drain.
  2. Meanwhile, mix together tahini, lemon juice, and water until smooth. Add garlic, yogurt, and pepper sauce.
  3. In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium high heat. Saute red pepper and zucchini in oil for 2 to 3 minutes, or until tender crisp. Add tahini sauce, and heat through. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Do not boil or overcook: this sauce curdles easily. Toss noodles with sauce.
