Hummus pasta is a unique and creamy pasta dish that combines the rich texture of hummus with the comfort of pasta. It’s an easy, flavorful, and quick meal that can be made with just a few simple ingredients.

Ingredients

8 oz pasta (any type you prefer)
1 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup vegetable broth (or pasta water)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the hummus, vegetable broth (or pasta water), and lemon juice to the skillet. Stir until well combined and smooth, creating a creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit more pasta water or broth until you reach the desired consistency.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Add the drained pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta in the hummus sauce.
  6. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and red pepper flakes if desired.

Notes

  • For extra flavor and nutrition, toss in sautéed spinach, roasted red peppers, or cherry tomatoes.
  • For a protein boost, add grilled chicken, shrimp, or chickpeas.
  • If you want to spice it up, add cayenne pepper, chili flakes, or smoked paprika.
  • For a non-vegan version, add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for extra richness.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat with a splash of water or vegetable broth to loosen the sauce.
