Ingredients

  • Dressing
  • 1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons agave syrup
  • 1/4 cup unseasoned rice wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Noodles and toppings
  • 1 pound dried spaghetti
  • 2 carrots, peeled and grated
  • 2 cups fresh green beans, blanched in salted water, chopped
  • 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced

Method

  • Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the pasta in it until desired toothsomeness is achieved, about 10 minutes.
  • While the pasta cooks, combine dressing ingredients in a blender or processor and pulse until creamy.
  • Add the dressing to the warm, drained pasta, carrots, onion, and green beans. I topped mine with Japanese togarashi pepper (found in Asian markets), black and white sesame seeds.
