Ingredients

Pasta

  • 16 ounces rotini pasta (or pasta of choice, gluten-free if desired)
  • 1/2–1 cup pasta cooking water (reserved)

Sauce and Vegetables

  • 1 cup Roasted Red Pepper Hummus (or your favorite store-bought savory hummus)
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved (about 2 cups)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot on the stove, bring well-salted water to a boil and cook the rotini pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Before draining, reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water and set it aside.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Transfer the drained pasta back into the pot. Add the roasted red pepper hummus, halved grape tomatoes, chopped spinach, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together thoroughly.
  3. Create the Sauce: Add 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta cooking water to the pasta and stir vigorously until the hummus sauce becomes creamy and smooth. Add additional pasta water a little at a time if you prefer a thinner consistency.
  4. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the pasta and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt, pepper, lemon juice, or hummus as desired to enhance the flavor to your liking. Serve immediately.
