As Seen On

Most of us love having hummus with veggies and pita bread. But this dish unconventionally uses hummus - with pasta! And it works. The hummus makes this dish extra creamy - without any dairy. And the blistered tomatoes add color and sweetness. The crushed red pepper adds some heat, but not too much. So this Hummus Pasta is perfect for the kiddos too. And the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest make the flavors pop. Feel free to serve this with our vegan garlic bread.
