tahini and yogurt sauce over pasta

3 tbsp tahini
1 8 oz container plain yogurt
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp cumin
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can baby corn
1 chicken breast
1 lemon

1/2 package linguini

Boil water for pasta, meanwhile saute garlic, cayenne and cumin in a little olive oil, 2-3 mins, add tahini and stir together. Add yogurt, corn and (cooked) chicken, bring to simmer over low heat. Cook pasta and let yogurt sauce simmer until pasta is done. Stir in juice of 1 lemon, add salt/pepper to taste, add 1/4 cup of the pasta water to yogurt mixture, drain pasta and combine with sauce. Let sit 2-3 mins before serving so sauce thickens.
