Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons tahini
⅛ cup lemon juice
1 cup plain yogurt
¾ cup water
3 cloves garlic
¼ cup olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 large portobello mushrooms, sliced
½ red bell pepper, diced
1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta
½ cup chopped parsley
ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a large pot of lightly salted boiling water, cook pasta 10 to 12 minutes, or until al dente.
  • While pasta is cooking, stir together tahini and lemon juice. Place in a food processor with yogurt, water, and garlic cloves; process until smooth.
  • Heat the oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion, and cook until soft. Add the mushrooms, and cook until soft. During the final few minutes of cooking add the bell pepper; the pepper should be still crispish.
  • Drain the pasta. Toss with the yogurt-tahini sauce, chopped parsley, and freshly ground black pepper. Serve the vegetable saute over the noodles.

This was the worst pasta dish I've ever had. I threw it away after a few bites.

I wasn't a fan of this dish. The yogurt tahini sauce was too heavy for my taste.

This dish was okay, but I've definitely had better. The sauce was a bit bland and the pasta was overcooked.

The sauce was a little runny for my liking. I think I'll try adding some cornstarch next time to thicken it up.

This was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could use some more spices or herbs.

I'm not a big fan of tahini, but this sauce was surprisingly delicious. It was light and tangy, and it paired perfectly with the pasta.
