This quick hummus pasta with veggies is ready in about 20 minutes, can be made in one pot, is naturally vegan, and can be made gluten-free. It's a family-friendly recipe with a fun Mediterranean twist!
PREP: Cook pasta in salted water according to package directions until al dente. You'll need to reserve at least 1+ cup of the pasta water for the sauce, so don't drain it completely!
Heat olive oil in skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until softened. Add garlic and continue cooking for another minute.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together hummus, remaining ½ teaspoon of salt and za'atar, red pepper flakes, 1 cup of reserved pasta water and lemon juice until smooth.
Pour the sauce over the vegetables to coat, then stir in cooked pasta. If the sauce is too thick, add in another 1-2 tablespoons of reserved pasta water.
