Hummus Pasta Sauce Recipe (Vegan)

This simple Hummus Pasta Sauce Recipe (Vegan) is a quick & easy go-to for those crazy days - and the perfect tasty addition to your vegan lunch box.

From the years that I have worked in offices around London I know the issue too well: running out of tasty vegan lunch ideas and getting stuck eating the same dishes on repeat - and it gets especially tricky when there's no microwave in the office kitchen. That's what inspired this Hummus Pasta Sauce Recipe (Vegan), which has quickly become one of my favourite pasta recipes! 

I also decided to come up with a few other delicious vegan recipes, that are:

• 100% vegan
• quick & easy to prepare (cause who really has the time, right?)
• delicious & tasty
• using only a few ingredients
• nutritious
• simple
• foolproof

In addition, this creamy vegan hummus pasta salad is also high in protein, as I have swapped out the standard wheat pasta with Edamame & Mung Bean Fettuccine. It also cooks perfectly within just 5 minutes, so it's the perfect, healthy option for when you time have time to faff around in the kitchen for long.

In this recipe I am using 3 key ingredients: the pasta, hummus (this can be homemade or store-bought, though homemade is preferred as you'll know exactly how much of what goes into it) and rocket salad, which adds a nice peppery flavour as well as micronutrients to this dish and makes it instantly more filling.

If you'd like to add even more protein to the dish, or simply want to increase the portion size, edamame beans, tofu or tempeh cubes would be suitable companions to this recipe - but of course, feel free to experiment with what you enjoy most. And if you find any tasty combinations, don't hesitate to share them with me (always up for trying new combos!)

What you'll need to make this Hummus Pasta Sauce Recipe (Vegan)

How to make this Hummus Pasta Sauce Recipe (Vegan)

This is probably the easiest vegan pasta recipe to make ever! To start with, start cooking your pasta as it says on the packaging and once it's done rinse it under cold water for 2-3 minutes. 

Next, place your pasta in a large mixing bowl before adding the hummus, rocket salad and mixing it all together. 

All you have to do now is add a little salt pepper until you're happy with how it tastes and it's ready! You can either keep this in the fridge overnight and ready for lunch or you can eat it straight away - perfect if you're working from home. 

I told you it was easy! 😉
