Hummus Pasta Sauce Recipe with Lemon (Vegan, Dairy Free)

What’s In This Hummus Pasta Recipe?

I get all the fresh produce for my recipes from my garden and from Misfits Market – they sell all organic produce at a super discounted price, and it’s purchased direct from the farmers. We get Misfit Market boxes every other week and love picking out our favorite seasonal produce for delivery.  You can get $10 off your first $30 box by clicking here! 

If you think organic produce is too expensive… think again, and give Misfits Market a look!

• Gluten Free Spaghetti Pasta: I like to use a gluten free pasta in this recipe to keep it wheat free. Gluten free pasta has come a long way in the past few years, and this is one of my favorites. If you haven’t tried gluten free pasta in a while, give it a shot – it’s hearty and delicious.
• Hummus of choice – I usually like to use a lemon or garlic based hummus… or 
•  you can check out all my hummus recipes here on The Herbeevore!
• Lemon Juice: Use fresh lemons if you have it, or this really great bottled lemon that you can keep in your pantry if you don’t have fresh lemons. This organic lemon is great for dressings, dips, and even cocktails – and it tastes fresh, which is great to have around if you don’t use lemon juice everyday but still want to keep some around.
• Pink Himalayan Sea Salt: I like to use a pink Himalayan Sea Salt in my kitchen, which has more natural minerals than plain processed table salt.  It’s fairly inexpensive, so I’d recommend this salt if you’re looking for an easy way to level up your spice pantry.
• Tellicherry Peppercorns: Like the salt, it’s amazing the flavor difference you can get with really good tellicherry black pepper.  Amazon has a generic brand tellicherry peppercorn which is the same price is buying pre-ground, and has a million times more flavor… so I use these really great tellicherry peppercorns, which I would definitely recommend. 

Pantry Staple Pasta Sauces with Beans

This is a fantastic pantry staple recipe – almost everything here comes straight outta the cupboard.  Hummus is easy to make with pantry staple ingredients if you have dried or canned chickpeas on hand. And pasta practically lasts forever, so we keep a good stock of different varieties at all times.   This recipe leans on pantry staple ingredients for a quick and easy weeknight meal that will fill you up and brings the flavor.

How Do I Make This Hummus Pasta?

1. Cook the Pasta.  Whatever pasta shape you choose to use, just cook it to package instructions.  Reserve 2 cups of the cooking water to use later in the sauce.  Drain the rest of the water, and set pasta aside.
2. Place the pot with the drained pasta back on the stove and simmer over low heat. To the drained pasta, add the hummus, parsley, and lemon juice.  Slowly stir in 1 cup of the pasta cooking liquid to thin the sauce as desired.  Add more water if you want a thinner sauce.
3. Taste, and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve with garlic bread and a side salad.

This vegan hummus pasta also uses the trick of thickening a sauce with pasta water.  I always do this with my pesto sauces too: add a ladle full of the cooking water from the pasta (make sure you don’t drain it all!) to the sauce, and the pasta will become thick, luscious, and decadent.  Its a healthier trick that using oil to make a sauce more creamy.

Dietary Modifications

This recipe is vegan  and dairy free – to make this gluten free always double check the labels of all ingredients you are using to ensure they are certified GF.

I have an oil free hummus recipe here, so if you are staying away from the oil this recipe can easily be tailored to be oil free.
