Recipe: Tomato Hummus pasta

Hi guys!

Hope everything is going alrightie! For me life is bizzy bizzy bizzy at the moment, but that’s the way I like it I got Paris and Germany coming up and a shoot for a jewelry campaign and some other options.. Yay!!!

Today I have a super easy recipe in store for you guys.. It takes about 20 minutes to whip up, even faster if you use canned tomato sauce..

Tomato Hummus Whole Wheat Pasta

Ingredients:

- Whole wheat pasta

-  2 tablespoons of hummus

- 2 cups of spinach, chopped

For the tomato sauce ( or use canned if you’re short of time)

• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 small carrot or 1/2 large carrot, finely chopped
• 1 small stalk of celery, including the green tops, finely chopped
• 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil or 2 Tbsp chopped fresh basil
• 1 28 oz. can whole tomatoes, including the juice, or 1 3/4 pound of fresh tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped
• 1 teaspoon tomato paste
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste     Source

Step 1: Make the tomato sauce –> 

Heat olive oil in a large wide skillet on medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, celery and parsley. Stir to coat. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are softened and cooked through.Remove cover and add the minced garlic. Increase the heat to medium high. Cook for garlic for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes, including the juice and shredding them with your fingers if you are using canned whole tomatoes. Add the tomato paste and the basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a low simmer, reduce the heat to low and cook, uncovered until thickened, about 15 minutes. If you want you can push the sauce through a food mill, or blend it with an immersion blender, to give it a smooth consistency.

Step 2: Cook whole wheat pasta

Step 3: Mix tomato sauce with 2 tablespoons of hummus ( do this in the end, don’t let the hummus simmer)

Step 4: Mix in chopped spinach ( also right before serving, so the spinach stays crunchy)

The Result —–>

The hummus makes this tomato sauce really creamy.. delish!
