SPAGHETTI WITH TAHINI SAUCE
A twist on a classic, this vegan recipe uses tahini to increase the protein and add a nice mellowing nutty flavor to spaghetti sauce. It's really easy to make and very yummy. I like to make a batch for the week and take it for lunch; keeps well for several days in the fridge. I also use whatever pasta I have, and try to keep the whole-grain or sprouted varieties to increase the nutritional value even more. The ingredients reported here are direct from the book; I use 3 TBSP Tahnini and 6 oz Tomato paste, to make it slightly less nutty and more tomato-y. I got this recipe from the book "Vegan Cooking for Everyone" by Leah Leneman.

CHEESE SPAGHETTI
Well, when low on cash, cheese spaghetti is quick, filling, cheap and very tasty -- not a great choice for the lactose intolerant. Use your desired amount of cheese (1 lb of cheese would be the most), and your desired amount pepper and garlic.
