How To Make Hummus Pasta (Vegan)
1. Start by cooking your pasta according to the package instructions. Use gluten-free pasta, if you are gluten-free. While the pasta is cooking, you can prepare the hummus pasta sauce.
2. Next, heat oil on a large non-stick pan or wok on medium-high heat and add onion slices. Cook for a couple of minutes to soften. Add baby spinach and stir until just wilted. Add hummus and garlic powder and mix well. Turn the heat off until the pasta has cooked.
3. In a bowl, scoop out the flesh of the avocado and add it to the bowl and add the diced red onion, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, and lime juice.
4. Turn the heat back up to medium. Mix well and add in small splashes of pasta water, if needed to thin out the sauce a little and to help combine everything together.
5. Season the guacamole with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, you can also add guacamole seasoning for extra flavour or any other spices of your choosing.
6. Serve right away (with a little vegan parmesan, if desired) or store in a tightly sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
