So excited for you to try this gluten-free Creamy Hummus Pasta with Roasted Tomatoes!

Never had hummus with pasta before? It’s a must try!

It’s been a trend for several years and I admit I was skeptical. But I tried it this past summer and never looked back….

The hummus mixed with some pasta water essentially makes a sauce that is creamy and so flavorful!

And since prepared hummus is so readily available (and almost always in our refrigerator) it makes for the base of a wonderful, quick meal.

Before we look at the ingredients and how it comes together, I want to point out that there is a cooking video on this page so you can see how easy it is to make.

And as with all our recipes, there is a printable recipe with exact measurements and directions at the bottom of the page.

So let’s make the Gluten-Free Hummus Pasta with Roasted Tomatoes!

You’ll need 9 ingredients in total:

gluten-free pasta of choice (we used Banza Chickpea Shells, Amazon affiliate link, because I love the extra protein and nutrients.

cherry or grape tomatoes

fresh greens of choice (I love a Spring mix, but spinach is also a great choice!)

hummus of choice

feta cheese

olives

fresh parsley

olive oil

kosher salt

And as I mentioned, it comes together quickly!

The pasta cooks while the tomatoes roast (just 10 minutes!), then you toss everything together!

The pasta finishes cooking at essentially the same time as the tomatoes finish roasting.

To get the wilted greens, place the greens in the colander and pour the cooked pasta and hot water right on top of them. They wilt instantly!

Then place the hot pasta and wilted greens in a large bowl or back in the pasta pot and stir in the hummus, adding reserved pasta water as desired to make a creamy hummus “sauce” that will coat all the pasta.

Add in the roasted tomatoes, feta, olives and parsley, toss.

Add to your serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil and enjoy!

In the video, I tossed it together in a serving bowl, but here I toss it together in the hot pasta pot that the pasta cooked in, and while both options work, I think I prefer tossing it in the cooking pot because it’s still warm and it is less messy if you opt to mix in some reserved pasta water.

In the video, I didn’t need reserved pasta water but other times, I’ve added it to make extra creamy.

Either way, as with other dishes, this is entirely customizable… add more or less of any specific ingredient according to taste.

Because this dish comes together so quickly, it’s a great weekday meal!

Super flavorful, nourishing and satisfying!

    Easy and fabulous! I used some leftover garlic hummus. After baking the cherry tomatoes, I poured them, with all of their liquid and oil, into the pasta. Had no greens, but I did have some leftover lettuce, the harder leaves in the center. Worked beautifully. Also had some cotijo cheese, and I crumbled that into the dish. This recipe is great because it can either be Vegan, vegetarian or (pardon me) carnivore. For instance, frying some chopped pancetta.
