1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper

This chilled creamy pasta dish was created by Annemarie Colbin, founder of

the Natural Gourmet Cookery School in New York City. Here's my summer

version, which adds vegetables.

 

In a small bowl, stir together tahini and soy sauce until mixture thickens

and begins to form small ball. Slowly add water by tablespoons to make

creamy sauce. Add ginger; stir well. Add bell pepper, parsley and green

onions. Toss with cooked noodles.
