This dish combines boiled pasta with a sauce made from tahini, lemon juice and garlic, then tops it with breadcrumbs toasted in the air fryer. It brings the tahini-based sauces of Lebanese cuisine to a sharing table. Whisking the sauce in the right order is key to keeping it smooth without splitting.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Boil the pasta

10 min

Boil the pasta in salted water for the time stated on the package, then drain, reserving one spoonful of the cooking water.

2

Whisk the tahini sauce

5 min

Crush the garlic and begin whisking it with the tahini and lemon juice; the mixture will thicken at first. Gradually add the reserved pasta water until you have a smooth sauce.

3

Toast the breadcrumbs

8 min

Toss the crumbled bread with olive oil and salt, spread it in the air fryer basket and toast at 180°C / 355°F for 8 minutes, until golden and crisp. If you do not have an air fryer, you can toast it in an oven at the same temperature for 8 minutes.

4

Combine and serve

5 min

Toss the boiled pasta with the tahini sauce and spread it on a large platter. Sprinkle the toasted breadcrumbs and parsley over the top and serve.

Reminder

When you first combine tahini and lemon juice, the mixture will seize and thicken; do not worry. Add water and keep whisking until it becomes a smooth sauce. Allergen: contains wheat (gluten) and sesame (tahini).
