Ingredients

  • 7 oz hummus
  • 3 oz pasta (wholegrain)

Method

We recommend using wholegrain spelt pasta for extra fibre.
1. Thinly slice the mushrooms and roughly chop the cilantro. Cook the whole grain pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic and sauté for a minute until fragrant. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are tender and golden brown. Mix the hummus with 4 fl oz of boiling water until combined.
3. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sautéed mushrooms. Pour over the hummus sauce along with the lemon zest and grated parmesan. Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce. Sprinkle chili flakes and add juice from the lemon (to taste).
Divide the pasta between serving plates, garnish with fresh cilantro and serve.
