This is a very creamy pasta sauce. First I made it with Tahini, but I didn’t like the flavour. Tahini is ground RAW Sesame Seeds, and I like ground TOASTED Sesame Seeds, that is called ‘Nerigoma’ in Japanese. As such a special ingredient is not available where I live, I simply toasted Sesame Seeds and ground them until smooth. Enjoy with plenty of chopped Parsley and salty Olives.
