Hummus Pasta with Roasted Broccoli is a satisfying 30-minute meal. It's easy to transform hummus into a creamy vegan sauce seasoned with garlic and lemon by thinning it with some reserved pasta water. You can make it with leftover homemade hummus or use your favorite store-bought brand.

For me, creamy vegan pasta dishes are the ultimate comfort food.

While I often turn to favorites like lemon cashew cream sauce, when I want something just as quick and easy but without the nuts, Hummus Pasta fits the bill.

And by roasting broccoli (or whatever vegetables you have on hand) while the noodles cook, it's easy to prepare a complete and delicious meal any night of the week.

Why you'll love this recipe

You can make the quick sauce with either store-bought or homemade hummus.
It's lemony, garlicky, and perfect for hummus lovers.
It's a complete meal that's ready to enjoy in 30 minutes..

Ingredients

Head of broccoli, a lemon, a head of garlic, a container of hummus, a bottle of olive oil, a box of spaghetti, and salt and pepper grinders.

Hummus: Choose a classic or plain hummus since we'll be adding lemon and garlic to flavor the pasta sauce. If I'm not in the mood to make my own sesame seed chickpea hummus or tahini white bean hummus, my favorite store-bought hummus is Little Sesame brand.

Lemon: You'll need both the zest and the juice from 1 to 2 lemons.

Pasta: While you can use any shape to make Hummus Pasta, I like to use spaghetti or linguine. My favorite is Jovial gluten-free spaghetti made from brown rice.

Please see the recipe card at the bottom of this post for the complete ingredients, measurements, and instructions.

Instructions

Steps showing how to roast the broccoli.

Start by preparing the roasted broccoli. Toss the florets with olive oil and salt and pepper, to taste.
Spread out the florets on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast until tender and lightly browned.

Steps showing cooking and draining the pasta and reserving a cup of the pasta water.

Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the package directions. When it's al dente, reserve a cup of the starchy cooking water which we will use when making the sauce.
Drain the pasta and set aside.

Steps showing sauting the garlic in olive oil and stirring the hummus sauce.

In the same pot you used to cook the pasta, saute the garlic in olive oil.
Then stir in the hummus, lemon juice, salt and pepper, and half of the reserved pasta water to form a sauce consistency.

Steps showing tossing the cooked pasta with the sauce and the finished dish topped with the roasted broccoli and lemon zest.

Toss the cooked pasta in the sauce to coat the noodles, adding additional reserved pasta water, as needed.
Serve the roasted broccoli on the Hummus Pasta and sprinkle the lemon zest over the top. Enjoy immediately.

Amy's tip

Don't forget to zest the lemon before squeezing out the juice!

Serving suggestions

Hummus Pasta with Roasted Broccoli is a complete meal on its own.

But if I have time, I like to serve it with a salad like Mediterranean white bean salad or a simple green salad with lemon and olive oil vinaigrette.

Storing

Although best enjoyed when it's made, leftover pasta and vegetables can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
