spicy tahini pasta with fake chicken


I got to try a new recipe for Witt and Ryan the other night when they came over for dinner, it turned into a tasty and spicy pasta with a nice balance of fake meat on the side.
The pasta ingredients:
1 box of whole wheat rotini
1 bag frozen broccoli
1 bag frozen cauliflower
1 can pigeon peas
2 TBsp garlic
1/4 cup tahini
1 TBsp lemon juice
2 TBsp soy sauce1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper powder
1 cup veggie stock
2 TBsp sesame seeds

directions:
cook the rotini as per directed.
In a blender, combine the garlic, pigeon peas, tahini, lemon juice, soy sauce, and cayenne until smooth.
Combine this withe the veggie stock in a pot and heat on low, stirring.
Just before the rotini is done boiling, add the broccoli and cauliflower and boil another 5 minutes.
Drain the pasta and veggies. Mix the tahini sauce in, covering well. Then stir in the sesame seeds.
It was a little spicy, but very filling.

Then on the side I baked gardein's chicken strips as per the directions on the package, Just before they were done baking, I poured tomato sauce and fake cheeze over them and baked another 2 minutes.

This picture is the leftover I had for lung the next day- it doesn't do it as much justice as it deserves, this was a really good meal!
