What’s in this easy vegan hummus pasta?

Hummus- Any shop bought hummus will work for this recipe. It does help to have a creamier hummus, but this recipe has been tested with the cheapest and more expensive brands, and still works. You may need a little more pasta water to loosen it up, depending on your preference.

Spaghetti- For this recipe, spaghetti mops up that delicious hummus sauce, but any past shape works for this recipe.

Fresh chives and basil- These two herbs work perfectly with the hummus as they give loads of flavour. A sharp but delicious flavour from the chives really works with the fragrant basil. 

Season well- The tip to good pasta is season at all stages. Season the water before adding the pasta, season the hummus mix, taste test and add a little more before serving if needed.

Cooking tips for pasta:

Pasta water- Is essential to make the sauce glossy and silky in texture. It helps add a little starch to the sauce which thickens as well as binds it together. Recommended 180ml for this, but it’s helpful to take a large mug full of water so you can add a little more if needed.

Add the pasta to boiling water- This is a good tip to get good pasta, you want the water salted and bubbling. 

Add lemon juice- There’s an option to add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for this recipe to add a little sharpness.

Easy 15 Minute Hummus Linguine

This simple and easy vegan hummus linguine recipe is perfect for week night recipes. It takes just 15 minutes to make, only a few ingredients and can easily be altered to fit what is in season / what you have in your fridge.

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
