Pasta with Creamy Chickpea (Hummus) or Bean Sauce
Onions, carrots, and garlic cook in olive oil until buttery soft, then get blended with chickpeas and water to form a deeply savory puree that coats pasta beautifully. It’s a satisfying dish that just happens to be vegan.

Try to let the blender run for a minute or two when pureeing the ingredients; the smoother the sauce, the better the dish.

A flourish of fresh herbs at the end brightens and freshens the dish; you can use all parsley or all basil if you don’t have both on hand.
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped carrot
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup drained canned unsalted chickpeas
  • ¾ cup water
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cups hot cooked whole-grain penne (8 oz. uncooked)
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
