- ½ lb pasta (gluten free if needed)
- 1 head broccoli (stems and florets)
- 1 cup reserved pasta water
Hummus Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup tahini
- juice from 1 whole lemon (about 2 tbsp)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cumin
Start to bring an oiled and salted (optional) pot of water to a boil.
While waiting for it to boil, cut broccoli florets and stems into bite size pieces.
When water starts to boil, add stems and cook for a minute.
Add in 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 food processor to make the hummus more saucy.
Drain pasta completely and toss with the hummus sauce.
Top with salt and pepper if desired.
