Ingredients
  

Pasta and Vegetables
  • 250 grams dried pasta Choose your favorite shape—penne, fusilli, spaghetti, etc.
  • 150 grams frozen peas Adds a pop of color and sweetness.
  • 50-100 ml reserved pasta water Helps create the perfect sauce consistency.
  • 50 grams fresh greens Kale, chard, or spinach are great options.
Sauce Ingredients
  • 200 grams hummus Use your favorite store-bought brand or homemade.
  • to taste sea salt Optional, enhances the overall flavor.
  • to taste black pepper Optional, for a subtle kick.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Bring a large pot of well-seasoned water to a boil. Add your dried pasta and cook according to package instructions. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  2. Two minutes before the pasta is finished cooking, add the frozen peas to keep them vibrant and sweet.
  3. Before draining, carefully reserve 100 ml of the cooking water—you'll need it to adjust the sauce's consistency.
Mixing
  1. Return the pasta and peas to the pot. Add the hummus and half of the reserved pasta water. Stir to combine until the hummus creates a creamy sauce.
  2. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add more reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
  3. Add the fresh greens and stir gently to wilt them into the warm pasta. Check for seasoning, adding salt and black pepper as needed.
Serving
  1. Plate up your delicious Hummus Pasta and enjoy!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The pasta may thicken, but you can revive it with a splash of water or olive oil. For extra flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like dill or parsley.
