Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 12 oz Linguine or Spaghetti
  • 1.5 cups Vegetable Broth Low sodium preferred
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 cup Plain Hummus Store-bought or homemade
  • 1/4 cup Nutritional Yeast For cheesy flavor
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice Freshly squeezed
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper Freshly ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Adjust to taste
Optional Garnishes
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley Chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil For drizzling

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Combine the pasta, vegetable broth, water, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper in a large, deep pot or Dutch oven.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a medium simmer, stirring frequently to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom.
  3. Continue cooking for 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente and most of the liquid has been absorbed, stirring constantly during the last few minutes.
  4. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the hummus, nutritional yeast, and fresh lemon juice until the sauce is completely smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of hot water or reserved pasta cooking liquid until desired consistency is reached.
  5. Taste the pasta and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or lemon juice if necessary.
  6. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh chopped parsley and a drizzle of good quality olive oil.

Notes

This dish is best eaten immediately as the sauce tends to thicken significantly upon cooling. If reheating, stir in a few tablespoons of water or broth before warming to restore creaminess. Feel free to add a handful of spinach during the last 2 minutes of cooking for extra greens.
