I cooked this in a very similar way but instead of water used canned chopped tomatos! The Hommus and Tomatos went together beautifully and the the homuus texture really helped the sauce stick to the pasta. Also the hommus took away the acidity of the tomato! It was delicious!! Added a little bit of Chilly Flakes for extra kick and a pinch or 2 of salt n pepper! Loved it

I was looking for a different way to use up extra hummus from a function besides with pita chips and discovered this recipe. I was skeptical but really enjoyed it! I used green beans instead of mushrooms because that is what I had on hand and added cumin, cayenne, and red pepper flake.
