Amount Measure    Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
   1/4    pound shelled walnuts
1    garlic clove
   1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons tahini paste -- sesame butter
2 tablespoons lemon juice
   1/4    cup Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
5 tablespoons water -- (to 6 T.)
To serve: cooked pasta to serve 4 people

Place all ingredients except pasta in a blender or food processor and blend until desired consistency. Do not overblend or you will lose the rough texture provided by the walnuts.

Transfer to a saucepan and heat gently, adding more water as the mixture thickens. Do not allow sauce to boil.

Toss pasta in sauce and serve at once.

Makes 4 servings.

This Turkish sauce is usually served on baked seafood or steamed vegetables such as beans or cauliflower. I have adapted it to serve with pasta shapes.. A green salad completes the meal.
