Gourmet on a Budget: Hummus Pasta Sauce That Will Impress
Welcome back to our "Prep&Plate" series! Today, we're going to change the way you think about pasta. We all love a good spaghetti dinner, but have you ever thought about switching up your traditional tomato or cream-based sauce for something a bit more adventurous? Enter our star of the day – hummus. Yes, you heard that right. We're making pasta with a creamy hummus sauce.
Our Infused Mediterranean Foods Hummus is not just a delicious dip or spread, it's also an incredibly versatile ingredient that can bring a rich, creamy texture and a unique flavor profile to many dishes. And the best part? It's a healthier alternative to traditional cream-based sauces.
Here's what you'll need: (can easily be doubled to serve 4)
- 200g of your favorite pasta
- 1 cup of Infused Mediterranean Foods Hummus
- 1/2 cup of pasta water
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley and grated Parmesan for garnish
First, cook your pasta according to package instructions. Be sure to save 1/2 cup of the pasta water before draining.
While your pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Then, reduce the heat to low and add the hummus and pasta water to the pan. Stir until a creamy sauce forms. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Once your pasta is cooked and drained, add it to the pan with the hummus sauce. Toss until the pasta is fully coated in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit more pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
To serve, plate your pasta and garnish with fresh parsley and a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan.
This Hummus Pasta is a simple, nutritious, and budget-friendly meal that doesn't skimp on flavor. It's sure to impress your family or guests with its unique twist on a traditional dish.
