What You’ll Need

How to Make It
This pasta is really simple to make. Start by placing the grape tomatoes in a 9×13 baking dish and dollop the hummus on top. No need to stir—just pop it in the oven.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the package directions.
After the tomatoes are finished roasting, you will carefully mash them together with the hummus to make the sauce. Then combine the sauce with the cooked noodles and enjoy!
Hummus and Roasted Tomato Pasta
Let hummus do the heavy lifting in this easy 3-ingredient pasta that is filled with flavor!
Ingredients
- 24 oz package grape tomatoes
- 17 oz tub roasted red pepper hummus (or flavor of choice)
- 8 oz box pasta of choice (I like Banza pasta)
Instructions
1. Roast the tomatoes & hummus: Preheat your oven to 420°F. Place the grape tomatoes in a 9x13 baking dish and dollop the hummus on top. No need to stir—just pop it in the oven! Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the tomatoes start to burst.
2. Cook the pasta: While the tomatoes and hummus are roasting, cook your pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
3. Mash & mix: Once the tomatoes are roasted and soft, grab a potato masher (or the back of a spoon) and carefully mash them into the hummus. This creates a luscious, creamy sauce.
4. Combine & enjoy: Toss the cooked pasta into the sauce, mix it all together, and dig in!
