Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Brussels sprouts: Set up a steamer insert in a saucepan and fill with water just below the steamer's base. Bring the water to a rolling boil. Add the halved Brussels sprouts, cover, and steam until they are easily pierced with a fork, approximately 8-10 minutes. Drain the sprouts, being sure to reserve the hot steaming water for later use.

02

Step

Cook the Spaghetti: In a large pot, bring lightly salted water to a vigorous boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package directions, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 10-12 minutes. Drain the spaghetti thoroughly.

03

Step

Craft the Tahini-Lemon Sauce: Heat the olive oil in a large pot or skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, being careful not to burn it, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in the fresh lemon juice, then add the tahini paste. Gradually incorporate the reserved hot water, stirring continuously, until the mixture achieves a smooth, sauce-like consistency. Adjust the amount of water as needed to reach your desired thickness.

04

Step

Combine and Serve: Gently fold in the steamed Brussels sprouts, cooked spaghetti, and capers into the tahini-lemon sauce. Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Ensure all ingredients are well combined and heated through before serving immediately.

For a richer flavor, try roasting the Brussels sprouts instead of steaming them. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a touch of heat.
Garnish with toasted pine nuts or a sprinkle of fresh parsley for added texture and visual appeal.
