Pasta With Veggies In a Tahini and Yogurt Sauce
SUBMITTED BY:
Nick
PHOTO BY:
Anne
"A creamy garlic sauce and a medley of vegetables served over egg noodles make a superb one dish meal. Of course if you were looking for something a little more elaborate, a Greek salad, thick slabs of feta cheese, and warm pita bread are wonderful accompaniments."

DIRECTIONS
Cook noodles in a large pot of boiling water until al dente. Drain.
Meanwhile, mix together tahini, lemon juice, and water until smooth. Add garlic, yogurt, and pepper sauce.
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.

The beauty of this recipe is that it can include any vegetables that you like. In fact, I think there are far better choices than those suggested (and a lot more of them), including peppers of all colours, carrots, red onion, asparagus... Definitely too much water in the recipe; I use half of what's recommended. Parmesan cheese or feta cheese are both good toppings. I have also substituted 1/2 lime for the lemon and it's good. Good recipe, great taste. Leftovers also very good.

I think that this is a great recipe, just poorly constructed. Instead of taking the time to strain the healthy whey out of the yogurt, just decrease the water according to how thin your yogurt is. Also it is too runny to begin with, so either way you should decrease the amount of water. Also, there are tons of other options for the veggies. I also used cayenne instead of hot sauce, and added cumin. I also used an extra tablespoon of tahini. Do be extra careful to not overheat it though because it will curdle and there is no going back after that. I love it!

I made this after a really long, tiring day. My hunger had escalated to lightheadedness as I sat down to eat at 9:30 p.m. One bite - bleagh! I tried two bites to justify the time spent cooking it while my husband mustered down a few more so I wouldn't feel so sad about cooking a horrible meal. I ended up throwing all of it straight into the trash. No flavor. And the sauce has a strange texture to it. Like curdled milk spiked with too much lemon.

I tried this recipe because I had so much tahini in my pantry, and thought the sauce had a really great flavor (I used cayenne peppar instead of tabasco and also added a bit of cumin). It was extremely thin and runny, however. I'll probably use about half the amount of water next time. Otherwise, this was really tasty!

Not a fan...thought it was very bland. I did use less water as other's instructed, but it was still a little watery. I will not make this again.

Yeah, definitely needs some tinkering, and the it's really good. I also put a handful of feta cheese on top, and a handful of kalamata olives. Hunk of italian bread, glass of wine, gotta love it. Definitely take the advice of the other comments. Maybe it's a bit of an acquired taste, but I think it's good...

It needs more garlic and less liquid, but then it'll taste great! I used a lot more veggies than called for, and threw in some leftover grilled chicken to simmer. This is a fun and different sauce I look forward to tinkering with.

My oldest daughter is always willing to try anything and I was intrigued by this recipe. I'm always looking for something different for her. I added mushrooms to the vegetables but that was my only change. Whilst my daughter liked this she said it was a little bit sweet for her tastes, although I used unsweetened plain yogurt. I'm not sure this will be on the menu again. Thanks for giving me the chance to try something different.
