Sesame Spaghetti is a quick vegetarian pasta dish. 
Adding sesame seeds to stir fried Quorn pieces with honey really helps to get a sweet and savoury texture.

Sesame Seed Spaghetti Recipe

 

By: Isabel Robson

Serves: 4
Preparation: 12 minutes

Ingredients:
Salt and pepper to taste
200g Spaghetti pasta
200g Quorn chicken style pieces
50g Soya cheese (crumbled)
2 Chilies (de-seeded)
5 tsp Sesame seeds
1/4 Cumin Seeds
1 tsp Ginger powder
2 tsp clear honey
1 tsp English mustard
2 tsp Couscous
1 tsp Turmeric
1 tsp Soya butter
3 tsp Olive oil
1 Small onion
1 Garlic clove
1 Bay leaf

• Boil pasta for 2 minutes. Drain and leave to one side.  Drizzle 2 tsp olive oil to avoid getting dry and sticking together.
• Peel, chop onion and garlic.  De-seed chili and chop.
• Stir fry onion, garlic, chili, butter with olive oil on medium heat for 1 minute.  Stir regularly.
  
• Add cumin seeds, Quorn, sesame seeds, honey, mustard, turmeric, ginger, couscous and bay leaf.  Turn to low heat.
  
• Season with sea salt and ground black pepper.
• Stir often for 4 minutes and add hot water if necessary, about 1/2 cup each time to avoid sauce drying out.
• Add spaghetti and cheese once couscous is soft to the bite.
• Check seasoning.
  
• Stir for 1 minute removing from heat and serving.
  

This is a mouthwatering dish. 
When I created this recipe, I fancied something quick and simple and voila!
 I love the way the sesame seeds, spices, couscous and honey stick to the Quorn pieces.  The perfect sweet and sour combination.
