Advertizing:

A tart and pungent puree of tahini (sesame paste), lemon juice, yogurt and garlic is tossed with hot penne along with sauteed mushrooms, onions and sweet red bell peppers to make a delectably different dish of pasta.

INGREDIENTS (for 8 servings):

PREPARATION:

  • 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.
