I usually have lots of hummus in my refrigerator and always wondered on how to utilize it after a while. Either I ended up overeating or trashing. But then, I came up with the idea of pasta with hummus sauce.

It was on point and a perfect combination of protein and carbohydrate. This was the best hummus pasta and my entire family praised it and enjoyed it.

The entire dish was gone the same evening and I had no leftovers. Since, then I have been making it on rotation along with my vegan gyros.

So, whenever, we are craving for a fusion combination then this hummus pasta and instant pot taco pasta is our top pick.

Therefore, I am here to share this awesome hummus pasta recipe with you.

Ingredients for easy hummus pasta

Pasta
Vegetable broth
Onion
Sun dried tomatoes (not soaked in oil)
Plain hummus
Nutritional yeast
Salt
Pepper
To garnish
Vegan parmesan cheese
Parsley
Crushed chili flakes

It’s the simplest and tastiest dish with being tangy, salty and delicious in every bite. The ingredients are simple too and I am sure you want to dive deep into its details.

Ingredients notes:


Pasta – any pasta of your choice works in this recipe. Rotini style works best here.

Vegetable broth – in order to make this as oil free hummus pasta, I used vegetable broth to sauté onion. This wonderfully enhanced the flavors and made it healthier too.

Sun dried tomatoes – make sure to get the ones in a packet. It should not be the soaked in oil.

Hummus – I personally like plain hummus here so any store bought or home-made ones works here.

Nutritional yeast – this gives a nice cheesy effect.

How to make Hummus Pasta

Firstly, I cooked pasta as per the package instructions. Then, I drained it and kept it aside.

Secondly, I heated a nonstick pan and added veggie broth to it.

sautéed onions in the pan.

Then, I sauteed onion in it until they were translucent.

Next, I tossed in sun dried tomatoes and sautéed it for 2 minutes.

Thereafter, I stirred in hummus and let it cook until it started to bubble.

Totally decadent….it was an instant hit.

Expert tips:

  • Make sure to heat the pan first and then add veggie broth. Immediately add onions or else veggie broth will start to burn.
  • If you think your sauce is too thick feel free to add ¼ cup more water but cook it well for 3 minutes covered.
  • While folding pasta make sure all pasta is well covered with the hummus sauce.
Hummus Pasta FAQs

How long does it last?

This taste best when served immediately. However, refrigerate the leftovers to be used the next day. Warm it up in the microwave before serving.

Is it healthy?

Yes! If you use healthy pasta that’s made with quinoa or ancient grain or even whole grain that would be complex carbohydrate. Hummus has lots of protein and especially if you make it at home, you can control its sodium content thereby making it healthier. I used oil free sun-dried tomatoes and sautéed onions in vegetable broth to add more nutrition. Hence, overall, it is a healthy dish which can be enjoyed frequently.

What can be served with humus pasta?

This dish is good on its own and is sufficient and filling. However, if you want to serve sides then you may go for some like green salad on the side. If you like to add breads then any dinner rolls work here.
