Method

  • 1. Cook the spaghetti.
  • 2. Meanwhile, chop the onions and fry them in the oil in a saucepan for a few minutes until lightly browned.
  • 3. Add the tahini and tomato paste and then the water (start with the smaller quantity and if the sauce is too thick, add the rest). Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until thickened. Stir in the yeast extract and add pepper to taste. Simmer, uncovered, for a few minutes.
