3. Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Mix in lemon juice; add tahini paste. Stir in reserved hot water until mixture is the consistency of sauce.
4. Stir Brussels sprouts, spaghetti, and capers into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
