TAHINI-PARMESAN PASTA SALAD
Many traditional pasta salad recipes call for a heavy mayonnaise-based dressing, but this one combines tahini and Parmesan for a lighter, umami-packed dressing that can be used on noodles, salad greens, asparagus, grilled chicken or grains. Tahini and Parmesan may be a surprising duo, but they naturally work well together because tahini, which is made from sesame seeds, amplifies the cheese's rich, nutty flavor. To add even more complexity, cherry tomatoes are blistered in a skillet to concentrate their sweetness and acidity. As with any good pasta salad, this one benefits from adding fresh scallions and mint right before serving, plus toasted sesame seeds and shards of Parmesan.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. When the water's boiling, add the pasta and cook according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high. Add the tomatoes, season with salt, and cook, shaking occasionally, until charred and wrinkly, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl to cool.
- In a liquid measuring cup, stir together the tahini and grated Parmesan; season with salt and pepper. (Mixture will be thick.) When the pasta is drained, add 1/2 cup pasta water to the dressing and stir until smooth. Add the pasta to the bowl with the tomatoes, then stir in enough dressing to coat. (You won't use all of it just yet.) Let cool for 15 minutes or up to 3 hours at room temperature.
- When ready to eat, stir the rest of the dressing into the pasta. Stir in water (reserved pasta water or tap) as needed until the pasta is glossy and creamy. Stir in the mint, scallions, sesame seeds and chopped Parmesan, reserving a little for garnish if desired. Season to taste with salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil.
Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe calls for bell peppers, but you can also use other vegetables such as broccoli, zucchini, or carrots.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. They should be tender but still have a little bit of crunch.
- Use a good quality tahini. This is the key ingredient in the sauce, so make sure you use a brand that you like.
- Season the sauce to taste. Add more lemon juice, salt, or pepper until it reaches your desired flavor.
- Serve the pasta immediately. This dish is best enjoyed fresh.
Conclusion:
This pasta with tahini and bell pepper is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. The tahini sauce is creamy and flavorful, and the roasted bell peppers add a pop of sweetness and color. This dish is also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. Serve it with a side of salad or bread for a complete meal.
