Tahini Pasta

Ingredients

2/3 cup macaroni (try rotini, corkscrews, alphabets...I like to use rice noodles) or 2/3 cup other shaped pasta (try rotini, corkscrews, alphabets...I like to use rice noodles)
1 tablespoon tahini (more to taste)

Directions

1

Cook the pasta to al dente. Drain well.
2

Reduce heat to low and add the tomato juice, tahini, Bragg's, vinegar and garlic if using. Mix well and partially cover for a minute, to let everything heat up.
3

The serving is very important: Scoop onto a plate, and drizzle a little vinaigrette on the pasta. Then heap salad on top of the pasta and add more vinaigrette.

Shamelessly devour!

Note on vinaigrettes: the classic with this pasta is recipe#156751, and if you use it, be sure to put the garlic in the dressing! This garlickyness is so important! Another tasty option is recipe#191758.
