Creamy Tahini Linguini

Still Black Friday shopping on Saturday? This quick meal packed with protein is just the boost you'll need. And it takes no time to prepare!

Ingredients:
1/4 cup tahini
1/4 cup 10% cream
2 tbsps nutritional yeast
2 tbsps light olive oil
1 tbsp fresh minced garlic
zest of 1/2 lemon
1/4 tsp basil
2 tbsps lemon juice
black pepper to taste
1/2 cup reserved pasta water
handful of greens
3/4 lb spaghetti

While you cook the spaghetti mix the tahini, cream, nutritional yeast, olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, basil, lemon juice and black pepper together in a small saucepan. Doesn't look very appetizing, I know.

Start warming it gently on low heat and when the pasta is almost ready remove some pasta water and add it to the tahini mix. Now heat through.

Drain the spaghetti then add the sauce and greens to the pot. Stir to coat and your healthy and light dinner is ready!

Add more cracked black pepper and some parmesan and you are ready for more shopping!

Serves 2-3
