BABGANOUSH-HUMMUS PASTA



Babganoush-Hummus Pasta image

A few months ago I started cooking with whole wheat pasta because I was working on family-friendly recipes for a charity cookbook. Whole wheat pastas are loaded with protein and fiber so it's a really easy way to help kids get more of both. I tried some whole wheat spaghetti for John and me one night. The preparation was simple -- just 10 shallots and cheese dressed it -- but from the first nutty-delicious bite I was hooked! The earthy, nutty flavor of chickpeas is a natural complement as well. Here I let a couple of dip-n-spread favorites inspire a hearty vegetarian sauce.

This is a Rachel Ray recipe that is actually vegan! I was channel surfing, stopped on 30 Minute Meals, and could not wait to try this easy, hearty, healthy, delicious vegan meal. Try crumbling soy feta on top. Serve with a Greek salad and warm pita bread.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your pasta will taste. This is especially true for the basil, tomatoes, and garlic.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and not hold its shape well.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is an essential ingredient in many Italian dishes, including pasta. Choose a good quality olive oil that has a fruity flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make pasta. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors to find your favorite recipe.
