Ingredients

> 3/4 (16 oz) pkg spiral pasta, like fusilli or rotini
> 1 lemon
> 1 cup Nature's Promise® Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
> 1 (15.5 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
> 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, to garnish

Steps

1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta water, then return pasta to pot. Meanwhile, into a small bowl, grate 1 tsp zest from the lemon and squeeze 2 tbsp juice.
2
To pot with pasta, add ¼ cup olive oil, hummus, lemon zest and juice, and ½ cup reserved pasta water. Season with salt and pepper and toss until a creamy sauce forms that coats pasta, adding more pasta water as needed to reach desired consistency. Add the chickpeas and gently toss to combine. Garnish with the parsley and serve immediately.
