Creamy Hommus Pasta Salad – 15-Minute Recipe

Ingredients

Serves 4-5

For the pasta salad

  • 300 grams rigatoni pasta (or any pasta of choice)
  • 2 zuchinnis ~400 grams
  • 1-2 tomatoes ~200 grams
  • 1 carrot ~70 grams
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 50 grams baby spinach leaves
  • parsely to garnish (optional)

For the dressing

  • 200 grams hommus
  • 200 grams roasted capsicum in a jar
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons (30 grams) rice vinegar
  • pinch of cracked black pepper

Instructions

1. Boil the pasta according to the package instructions. Meanwhile, chop the zuchinni into quarter-circles, shred the carrot, and dice up the tomato. Once the pasta has boiled, drain, rinse, and set aside.

2. Heat some oil over a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the zuchinni and cook for about 5 minutes, or until lightly golden. Then add the curry powder and salt, and stir for another 2 minutes.

3. To make the hommus dressing, add the hommus, jarred capsicum, soy sauce, vinegar and pepper to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.

4. Assemble the pasta salad. Add the cooked pasta to a large bowl along with the shredded carrot, diced tomato, zuchinni, spinach and hommus dressing. Mix everything together and optionally garnish with parsely.
