| Amount | Unit | Ingredient |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 400g | Spaghetti Pasta |
| 1 | cup | Spinach |
| 2 | tbsp | Olive Oil |
| 2 | clove | Garlic |
| 1 | head | White Onion |
| 1 | cup | plain hummus |
| 1 | cup | Water |
| 2 | tbsp | Lemon Juice |
| 1 | tsp | Paprika |
| 1/4 | cup | Basil |
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until al dente according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta and return to the pot to stay warm.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 5-7 minutes or until fragrant and they soften. Add the garlic, and cook for 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Add the spinach and cook for 1 minute, or until it slightly wilts.
- Add the hummus, about ½ cup of the pasta cooking water, the lemon juice, and lemon zest, and stir until a creamy sauce forms. Add more pasta water to thin the sauce a little at time, as desired.
- Transfer the cooked pasta to the skillet, turn off the heat and toss everything together. Top with basil and crushed red pepper.
