Tahini chicken and broccoli rotini pasta

My fiance is the best! She wanted to go grocery shopping for some healthy ingredients for cooking. She sees a deal on six pack of pasta. No intention to buy pasta btw, she went without any list "I'm gonna go online and find a bunch of recipes. This is pasta WEEK." Lol. So here we are.
This one was surprising. The tahini adds a lovely aroma and creamy texture reminiscent of cheese. But this is a really hearty meal. I'm glad I'll be having some for lunch.
