Ingredients

1 pound Brussels sprouts
½ (8 ounce) package spaghetti
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 lemon, juiced
3 tablespoons tahini paste
2 teaspoons capers
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add Brussels sprouts, cover, and steam until fork tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, reserving the hot water.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
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.
Stir Brussels sprouts, spaghetti, and capers into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
