Ingredients

1 pound Brussels sprouts
0.5 (8 ounce) package spaghetti
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 lemon, juiced
3 tablespoons tahini paste
2 teaspoons capers
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Place a steamer insert into a saucepan. Fill with water to just below the steamer's bottom and bring to a boil. Add Brussels sprouts, cover, and steam until fork-tender, around 10 minutes. Drain, but reserve the hot water.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente (about 12 minutes). Drain the spaghetti.
Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, then add tahini paste. Gradually stir in the reserved hot water until the mixture reaches your desired sauce consistency.
Add the steamed Brussels sprouts, cooked spaghetti, and capers to the sauce. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy!
