Ingredients

  • 9 oz rotini pasta
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 3 cups baby spinach
  • 10 sun-dried tomatoes in oil
  • 4 tablespoons hummus
  • 2 tablespoons pine nuts
  • salt, to taste
  • black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped

Instructions

  • Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package. 
  • In the meantime, roast the pine nuts in a large pan without oil. Be careful as they burn rather quickly. 
  • Then, heat some oil in the same pan. Add the garlic and cook for about 2 minutes. 
  • 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. 
  • Add the cooked pasta. Stir in the hummus and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Sprinkle with chopped basil. Enjoy! 

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.
