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 dish was a bit too rich for my taste. I think it could have used some more acid, like a squeeze of lemon juice.

This recipe is a great starting point, but you can easily customize it to your liking. I like to add some chopped nuts or seeds for extra crunch.

I'm not a fan of yogurt-based sauces, but this one was actually really good. It was creamy and flavorful, and it didn't overpower the other ingredients.

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

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some roasted broccoli and cauliflower, and they worked perfectly in this dish. The sauce was also very versatile. I could see it being used on other types of pasta or even as a dip for v
