Ingredients

Scale

Pasta

  • 2 portions linguine (around 200g)

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 1 white onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 courgette (diced)
  • 100 g tomatoes
  • 3 cloves garlic (finely chopped)

Herbs & Seasonings

  • 1/2 tsp chilli flakes
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried dill
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Other Ingredients

  • 200 g hummus (store-bought or fresh)
  • 1 drizzle olive oil (for frying)
  • 200 ml pasta water (reserved from cooking pasta)

Instructions

  1. Boil the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the linguine. Cook for around 10 minutes or until al dente. Reserve about 200 ml of the pasta water before draining.
  2. Cook the vegetables: In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion, diced courgette, tomatoes, and garlic. Fry for around 7 minutes until the vegetables soften.
  3. Add the herbs and seasoning: Stir in the dried thyme, dried dill, chilli flakes, and season with salt and pepper. Mix everything well to combine the flavors.
  4. Incorporate the hummus and pasta water: Add the hummus and reserved pasta water to the pot with the cooked vegetables. Stir gently to create a creamy sauce.
  5. Combine pasta and sauce: Drain the linguine and add it to the pot with the hummus-vegetable sauce. Toss everything together until the pasta is fully coated. Add extra pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
  6. Final seasoning and serve: Taste and adjust salt and pepper if necessary. Serve the hummus linguine piping hot for a comforting and tasty meal.

Notes

  • Reserve some pasta water to adjust the consistency of the sauce if it’s too thick.
  • Use fresh or store-bought hummus based on availability for convenience.
  • Feel free to add extra chili flakes if you prefer more heat.
  • This dish pairs well with a light salad or crusty bread.
  • For a nuttier flavor, try using roasted garlic hummus.
