What ingredients do you need for vegan broccoli and hummus pasta?

Would you believe me if I told you that you only need 8 ingredients for this entire dish!?

Full amounts in the printable recipe card below. 

The ingredients that you need are:

  • pasta (we use rotini – use gluten free if needed)
  • broccoli (fresh or frozen)
  • canned chickpeas 
  • garlic

Do I have to use broccoli?

No! We love broccoli in this dish; however, you could switch it up with peas, asparagus, zucchini and more. 

How do you make vegan broccoli and hummus pasta?

Start to bring an oiled and salted pot of water to a boil. 

While waiting for it to boil, cut your broccoli florets and stems into bite size pieces. 

When water starts to boil, add your stems and cook for a minute. Then, add in the uncooked pasta and broccoli florets.  Cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. 

While cooking, add the hummus ingredients to a food processor. Blend until smooth, scraping down as necessary. 

Before draining the pasta, take 1 cup of water out of it and slowly drizzle it into your food processor to make the hummus more saucy. 

Drain pasta completely and toss with the hummus sauce. 

Top with salt and pepper if desired. 

Optional: add in warmed chickpeas to it.  

Can I make this vegan broccoli and hummus pasta Top 8 Allergen Free?

As long as you use gluten free pasta, this dish is Top 8 Allergen Free. 

Can I prep this vegan broccoli and hummus pasta ahead of time?

The hummus will thicken up, so if you are prepping ahead then you may want to reserve a bit more pasta water when you are ready to heat up. 

Otherwise, this dish, if stored in an air tight container will last 4-5 days in the fridge.

    Ummm . . . if you boil broccoli florets for 8 minutes (the time that the pasta needs) you will get a mushy mess. Yuk. Even the stems don’t need that long. The sauce sounds good, though.
