It’s been a while since I’ve cooked since I’ve unfortunately been super busy, but I’m finally back with another recipe! I think I’ve mentioned before that I tend to go vegetarian/meat-less whenever I’m feeling a little poor and/or low on fiber.
I received free samples of Sabra mentioned in this post. By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by Sabra and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time.
I needed to dream up a quick + easy meal that I could make in bulk to cover me for at least several meals for the rest of the week. My mind went back to several years ago when I tested out “huminara” sauce but I was out of pasta sauce, so this recipe was born! :]
Hummus is awesome in all kinds of things–sandwiches, salads, snacks (chips & dip! *-*)…it’s also a great plant-based source of protein! Something I especially love about Sabra hummus is that there are so many different flavors to choose from!
- BBQ Hummus with Jackfruit and Smoked Paprika
- Caramelized Onion
- Classic
- Jalapeno
- Olive Tapenade
- Roasted Garlic
- Roasted Pine Nut
- Roasted Red Pepper
- Spinach & Artichoke
- Sun Dried Tomato with Italian Herbs (the star of today’s recipe!)
- Supremely Spicy
- Taco Inspired
- Organic Simply Roasted Garlic
- Organic Simply Roasted Red
- Organic Traditional
What what?! Where do I even begin!? (I’ve tried 8 of these so far…) It was kinda hard to choose which hummus to make this pasta with, but I highly doubt you could go wrong with any of em’. :O I used Modern Table’s lentil penne pasta for some extra protein goodness!

| Prep: | Cook: | Yield: 6-8 servings | Total: |
You'll Need...
- 8oz lentil penne (or your choice of pasta)
- 1 8oz package of frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 cup Sabra Sundried Tomato Hummus
- 1-2 tsp paprika
- 1 tbsp crushed red pepper flakes
Directions
- Bring 2 cups of water to a boil and add frozen vegetables. Bring to a second boil, reduce heat, and then cover + cook gently for ~8 minutes (do not overcook!).
- Set vegetables aside and bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions (~10min, or until tender).
- Drain the pasta.*
- Place empty pot on the stove over medium heat and add vegetables, hummus + pasta back into the pot.
- If the sauce consistency is not where you'd like it to be, pour in the reserved pasta water in increments until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
- Serve hot!
Additional Notes
*Consider reserving ~1 cup of pasta water if you'd like to change up the consistency of the pasta sauce!
- What flavor of hummus would you want to try first?! What would you make with it?
- Have you ever had pasta with hummus?

I make my own “Pizza Hummus” all the time and mix it with pasta. Its so creamy! I love how this is 10X quicker and easier then making it from scratch! Perfect for busy schedules. I think I would want to try the roasted pine nut flavor, but really they all sound good!

I have never thought of putting humans in a pasta dish but that’s a good idea!
It’s a great way to get some protein in! :]
Farrah recently posted…One Pot Creamy Hummus Pasta with Vegetables
omg don’t even get me started. I’m a total hummus FREAK. We don’t have all the flavors here yet, but I noticed when I was in Boston how many varieties there are to choose from. I’ll be on the lookout anyway here in NL.
I have definitely added sabra hummus to “non-traditional” things. In fact sometimes I literally just put a blob of it on top of my salad! YUM.
I wasn’t aware of some of the newer flavors either but…definitely gonna have to check em’ out! :D!
haha, I often forgo salad dressing in favor of hummus too! :]!

I don’t know the last time I’ve tried hummus, but this idea looks really good. I never would have thought you could put pasta and hummus together.

Oh how I love hummus 😍 Sabra hummus (weirdly called Obela here – but it’s the same which I was so happy about because I always bought Sabra in the US!) is my favourite store bought hummus as it’s so creamy and delicious.
I love adding hummus to pasta dishes – and adding nutritional yeast to the mix too is sooooo good!

Hm, that’s so interesting! I’m glad it’s the same thing though so that you get to have it too! :D It’s so good! I need to try it with nutritional yeast! I meant to add some to this but I forgot to! :P
Farrah recently posted…Cranberry Almond Breakfast Cookies
You know…this would be a great way to use up some Hummus in my house. I have a bad habit of buying a big tub of it and then forgetting to use it!!!
I always worry that I’ll end up doing that, but this is definitely a great way to use it up if that happens! :P
Farrah recently posted…Cranberry Almond Breakfast Cookies
I love using hummus with pasta for a quick and nutritious meal! Nice recipe! Wow, I never knew there were so many flavors made by Sabra! My local grocer only carries 3! I will have to check out their website :)
