Hummus Pasta
Hummus pasta is an incredibly easy vegan pasta recipe perfect for a weeknight dinner! It's deliciously creamy, highly customisable, and ready to eat in only 20 minutes!
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil or any oil 10mL
- 1/2 cup spinach chopped, 15g
- 3 sundried tomatoes thinly sliced, 15g
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup garlicky well-seasoned hummus* you can start with 3/4 cup, 180-240g
- 1/4 cup pasta water + more if needed 60mL
- 8 ounces dry pasta 225g
- squeeze lime
Instructions
- In a pot of well salted boiling water, boil your pasta according to package directions. Reserve up to 1/2 cup pasta water or more if you think you might need more. When pasta is finished, drain and set aside.
- While pasta is boiling, heat the olive oil in a medium-sized pan.
- When oil is hot, add in the spinach and sundried tomatoes and any other vegetables you might want to add. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper, and saute for about 5 minutes until the spinach is wilted and sundried tomatoes are fragrant.
- Lower the heat to low, and add in the hummus and a 1/4 cup of the pasta water. Stir everything together until smooth and combined. Add in the cooked pasta. Squeeze the lime over the top and stir until everything is combined.
- Taste the pasta and sauce, and add more water if desired, and season with more salt and pepper to taste, if needed.
- Remove from heat, serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Start with the right hummus. You want to start this recipe with a great base. My classic homemade hummus is great. If you're using plain hummus, sauté some garlic and onions with your veggies or add some garlic onion powder.
- Adjust flavours. Feel free to customize this dish to your desired consistency and flavour!
- Storage. Transfer leftovers to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge (if applicable), and reheat in microwave or in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water or broth.
