Begin by boiling water in a large pot and adding your spaghetti or rice noodles. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.

Toss the cooled, drained noodles in the bowl with the tahini sauce, mixing gently until every strand is well-coated.

Transfer the coated noodles to bowls or plates. Drizzle a little more olive oil on top if desired.

Sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro or parsley for added color and flavor.
