STEP 1: Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package. 

STEP 2: In the meantime, roast the pine nuts in a large pan without oil. Be careful as they burn rather quickly. 

STEP 3: Then, heat some oil in the same pan. Add the garlic and cook for about 2 minutes. 

STEP 4: Cut the sun-dried tomatoes into slices. Wash the baby spinach. Add both to the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes or until the spinach wilts.

STEP 5: Add the cooked pasta. Stir in the hummus and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Sprinkle with chopped basil. Enjoy! 

Recipe Notes: 

  • Do you want to make this pasta dish gluten-free? Then I recommend using brown rice pasta instead. I usually prefer it over lentil or chickpea pasta as its texture and taste is very similar to regular pasta. 
  • This pasta dish is also delicious when eaten cold. So if you have any leftovers, you could eat them as a pasta salad on the next day.
  • I usually use plain hummus, but you could also experiment with flavored hummus if you like. It’s also great with Mexican spiced hummus and black beans instead of sun-dried tomatoes.
