What You Will Need for hummus pasta:

• Pasta of choice. I use Barilla protein + for added protein.
• Hummus of choice. (Plain, red pepper, or even spicy red pepper all work great.)
• OPTIONAL: meat of choice. I like to use sausage.

How to make the hummus pasta dish:

1.) Boil pasta as normal.

2.) Scoop hummus into a saucepan. I use about half a cup for one serving. Don’t worry, you can always keep adding more hummus to make more sauce. It only takes a minute!

3.) Before the pasta is done cooking, scoop out a cup (or a little more) of water to mix with the hummus and stir on low heat until completely melted.

4.) Strain the pasta and add it to the sauce. And that’s it!

I like to add cooked sausage to make it a more filling meal along with a vegetable. I once tried the spicy red pepper and the pasta tasted very similar to a Thai dish.
