Creamy Hummus Tomato Pasta

The best things in life are simple if you ask me. If you have never tried hummus on your pasta, here is a simple recipe (or really, more like an idea) to get you started. I have experimented using homemade hummus and various brands of hummus, but by far my favorite to use is Hope Foods Original Hummus. It just has a slight tang to it and is such a nice texture for combining with tomato sauce.

If you give it a try, do let me know. I haven’t met anyone yet who hasn’t loved this simple pasta idea. It has definitely become my go-to when I’m craving a simple creamy pasta dish but am short on time.

Ingredients:

• 8 oz box of pasta
• 1/2 cup Hope Foods Original Hummus
• 2 cups pasta sauce
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
• 3 tbsp chopped basil or parsley (optional)
• freshly-ground black pepper (optional)

Method:

1. Cook pasta according to directions. Drain and set aside.
2. Heat pasta sauce on stove and stir in hummus.
3. Combine pasta and sauce together, adding in tomatoes, basil or parsley if you’d like.
4. Enjoy!
