I had to try the Plant Based RD’s Baked Hummus Pasta!
This is a twist on the viral baked feta pasta, but I think it’s almost better. The hummus adds another flavor dimension and creaminess without the dairy. I did add/remove a few ingredients, so if you want to see the original recipe be sure to head to her website!

1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 tbs olive oil
Garlic, minced (follow your heart)

5. While hummus bakes, prepare your pasta, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water after the pasta is done. Chop spinach and set aside.
