Instructions

1 Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook
until al dente, according to package instructions. Strain, reserving 1 cup of
the pasta water, and set aside.
2 Meanwhile, make the tahini Alfredo. Add the tahini, water, lemon juice, garlic,
sea salt, and black pepper to a high-speed blender. Blend on high until smooth
and emulsified. Set aside.
3 Next prepare the Spicy Pine Nut Parm.
4 Once the pasta is nearly ready, heat the tahini alfredo sauce in a large sauté
pan over medium-low heat until just warmed through.
5 Add the pasta to the pan and toss to coat. If needed, add a bit of the pasta
water to thin the sauce.
6 Add about half of the parmesan and stir to incorporate.
7 Taste and generously season with salt and red pepper flakes, to taste. If
desired, add a bit more lemon juice to brighten and enhance the overall flavor.
8 Divide the pasta between bowls. Generously top with the remaining parmesan and
garnish with the parsley/basil and chili oil (if using).
9 Serve immediately.
