- 1 large handful of basil (approx. 30g)
- 2 tbsp tahini (approx. 30g)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice; fresh or Biona bottled lemon juice

Method
1. Add all the ingredients for the sauce to a blender and blend until smooth. Add enough water to reach a pourable, smoothie-like consistency.
2. Place pasta in a pot with boiling water and cook according to packet instructions.
3. Once the pasta is cooked, drain in a colander and return to the pot. Add most of the sauce, stir over a medium heat for 3 – 5 minutes until hot and serve immediately as is or topped with a little reserved sauce, fresh basil, parmesan or dairy free alternative and a little black pepper if desired.
4. Leftovers can be enjoyed cold or warm; a great little lunchbox pasta salad!
