Ingredients

2 cups uncooked pasta (rotini)
1/4 cup vegetable broth
1/2 cup chopped onions
1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes (NOT soaked in oil)
1 cup plain hummus
1/2 cup water
2 tbsp. nutritional yeast
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper

to garnish

vegan parmesan cheese
fresh parsley
crushed chili flakes

Instructions

Cook pasta as per the package instructions. Drain and keep it aside.
Heat a nonstick pan and add vegetable broth to it and sauté onions in it until translucent.
Add sun dried tomatoes and sauté for 2 minutes for a nice toasty effect.
Stir in hummus and let it cook for 1 minute or until it starts to bubble. Add water, nutritional yeast, salt and pepper to it. Stir and cook covered for 2 minutes at medium flame.
Fold in pasta and mix well. Turn it off and let it rest covered for 1 minute. Taste test salt and garnish. Serve hot.

Notes

I used ancient grain pasta here because its healthy. You may use any pasta of your choice. Rotini works best here.
Any hummus works either store bought or homemade.
Vegan parmesan cheese is optional.
This taste best when served immediately. Refrigerate the leftovers to be used the next day. Warm it up nicely in a microwave.
