Method

5 steps

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the whole-grain spaghetti and frozen peas, and cook according to pasta package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, soy sauce, and minced garlic in a small bowl until smooth.
Drain the pasta and peas, reserving a small amount of pasta water, then return them to the pot.
Pour the tahini sauce over the pasta and peas, tossing well to coat and adding a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to reach desired consistency.
Transfer the pasta to an airtight container for storage.
