Pasta is perfect when you need dinner in a pinch - and when pinching pennies might also be a good idea (it’s rent week, you’ve indulged in one too many “treat yourself” purchases… we’ve all been there!) But this couldn’t be an easier dish to whip up any time, really. It’s packed with savory flavors from jars and bottles you already have stacked in your cabinet or stuffed into the side of your refrigerator door. Soy sauce and sesame oil bring an undeniable umami, chili flakes add a zip of heat, and the creamy tahini brings some subtle, yet complimentary, nuttiness to the party. Blend it all together and the result? A sauce with some serious global flavor - simply by reaching into your pantry. Plus, bucatini rhymes with tahini…so they’re basically meant for each other.
