    Delicious protein packed vegan pasta with a hummus pesto sauce. Addictive, healthy and easy.


    So, I'm a bit tired of having normal pasta sauces such as tomato, bolognese and alfredo. Here, I combined two of my favourite flavours, basil pesto and hummus and made a wonderfully comforting pasta dish.

    The hummus gives the pasta a creaminess and the pesto makes it wonderfully nutty and earthy. The cherry tomatoes gives the pasta some life and freshness.

    If you prefer hummus as a dip, see my epic hummus platter.

    I hope you enjoy this recipe!
