Tahini Bucatini

• 1/2 cup tahini
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
• 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1-inch pieces ginger, pealed and roughly chopped
• 1/4 cup cilantro stems, roughly chopped
• 1 tablespoon sriracha, or more to taste
• 1/4 cup starchy pasta water or more if needed
• 1 pound dried bucatini
• Toasted sesame seeds, chili flakes, cilantro, and scallions for garnish

1. For pasta: bring a large pot of salted, boiling water to a boil. Cook pasta according to box instructions, until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water. Drain pasta and set aside.
2. For sauce: add the first 9 ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Add more water to sauce for a thinner consistency.
3. Toss the pasta with sauce and finish with a generous pinch of sesame seeds, chili flakes, scallions and cilantro. Enjoy!
