My family loves pasta salads, but usually they have too much mayonnaise or oily dressing. Using hummus gives this dish a great taste and texture, while also increasing its nutritional profile. Adding chicken (store-bought rotisserie chicken works well), makes this pasta salad a complete meal. -Jenny Lynch, Rock Island, Illinois

Tips:
- Utilize Fresh Ingredients: Opt for fresh spinach leaves to impart a vibrant green color and a pleasant texture to your pasta dish. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese also adds a more pronounced flavor compared to pre-packaged options.
- Season with Care: Garlic and red pepper flakes provide a nice kick of flavor to the pasta, so adjust the quantities based on your personal preference. Additionally, freshly ground black pepper enhances the overall taste.
- Cook Pasta Perfectly: To achieve al dente pasta, cook it according to the package instructions, ensuring it retains a slight bite. This prevents it from becoming mushy and ensures a satisfying texture.
- Reserve Pasta Water: Don't discard the pasta cooking water; reserve about a cup of it. This starchy water helps create a creamy sauce when combined with the Parmesan cheese and butter.
- Serve Immediately: For the best taste and texture, serve the spinach pasta immediately after tossing it with the sauce. This prevents the pasta from absorbing too much sauce and becoming soggy.
Conclusion:
This spinach pasta recipe is a delightful combination of flavors and textures, making it a perfect choice for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
