Recipe

Serves 2

6 fl oz. (180ml) oat milk

4 tbsp. tahini

4 oz. (115g) gluten-free pasta of choice

How to Prepare

Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.



While the pasta cooks, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden, stirring frequently.



Raise heat to medium-high. Add the mushrooms and sauté for 4-5 minutes until browned and tender. Season with a pinch of salt and cook for 1 more minute.



Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the oat milk, tahini, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce is creamy and thickened.



Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss to coat thoroughly in the sauce. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve immediately.
