Creamy Tahini Pasta

This tahini pasta is quick, easy to make and perfect for a cosy dinner.

I always talk about how I love meals that are quick to prepare, and this one is no exception – you only need around 15 minutes from start to finish.

Plus, you can add any other vegetables of your choice if you have any in the fridge that need using up. I’ve had lots of work to do over the last week, but eating plenty of comfort food like this has made it much more fun 😆
