Ingredients you’ll need

  • Pasta: I used whole wheat rotini for this Hummus Pasta, but you can use any pasta that you love.
  • Hummus: Any type of hummus flavor you like or have on hand will work.
  • Cherry tomatoes: You can also use regular or canned tomatoes.
  • Spinach: To get your greens in, but you can also kale, arugula, or parsley.
  • Shallots: They are sweet in taste, but you can also sub for regular onion.
  • Garlic: 2 cloves for flavor.
  • Lemon: Just a little, for sweetness.
  • Black pepper: To season.

How to make Hummus Pasta

To begin, cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain the pasta when it’s done cooking, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Set aside.

While the pasta is cooking, heat a splash of water in large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add garlic and sauté the shallot for 5-7 minutes, until translucent. Add in the cherry tomatoes and cook an additional 3 minutes. Then add spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until slightly wilted.

Add the hummus and lemon juice to the saucepan with the sautéed veggies, and slowly stir in the pasta water until it’s smooth and creamy.

Tips for making the perfect Hummus Pasta

  • Cook the pasta until al denta. Make sure that you do not over-cook your pasta, because you’ll need to toss them in the heated hummus sauce.
  • Slowly add in pasta water. Only a half cup is necessary, but start off with a 1/4 cup and slowly add in more, until you achieve your desired consistency.
  • Stir consistently. While adding the hummus, be sure to mix well, so that everything gets evenly coated and does not stick to the bottom of the pan.
