What ingredients do I need for this hummus pasta?
Linguine- This pasta is perfect for creamy dishes like this one. It is thicker than spaghetti and one of my favourites to use.
Hummus- You can use home made, shop bought, whatever you have at hand. Using a cheap pot (like I have in this recipe) will mean you might need a little more pasta water to make the sauce creamier. If you’re using home made you might not need as much pasta water to get the same texture.
Garlic- There is never enough garlic in a pasta recipe, using three cloves to get a delicious flavour across.
Courgette- This vegetable is in season at the moment so perfect for adding to recipes, however feel free to use whatever vegetable is in season. This could work with mushrooms or roasted squash.
Cooking tips:
Pasta Water- The most important thing to remember is to heavily salt the pot of water just before adding the pasta. Allow the water to get to a bubbling state then add in the pasta. SAVE THAT PASTA WATER! I usually get a mug, fill it with the pasta water to add to the sauce, this way I can add a little more if it needs it.
Hummus- Depending on what hummus you use for this recipe will determine how much pasta water you need for this.
Season and Flavour- Adding dried herbs can mean you may need to add a little more then if they were fresh herbs. If you’re swapping dried dill for fresh I would use around 2 stalks of dill finely chopped. Season generously with salt and pepper as this is key for any good pasta recipe
