SO HOW'D IT GO?
This was YUMMMY!!! Of course I love hummus anyway I can get it ;) I subbed a small white onion for the red onion, omitted the nut.yeast, used 1 clove of diced garlic (wil probably use 2-3 next time), and also added chopped sun-dried tomatoes, kalamata olives, and 2 shredded carrots. This was AWESOME!! I can't wait to have the leftovers for lunch!!
I used fun shaped brown rice pasta, left out spinach entierly, and instead added toasted pinenuts, pan fried tofu, and edamame beans. Mmmmmmmm Im glad I used my homemade hummus on this - its garlic-y and doubles well as a pasta sauce ^^ I dont usually like pasta, Im more of a rice person, but this sure was a treat :)
i just made this today...definently gonna be something i make every week and take for lunch!~
Yep, this one's a keeper. :-) We sauteed the onions, spinach and garlic in water (we're watching fat intake). The only thing I would do differently next time is to make the hummus even more liquidy than I did. This dish has a really unique flavor... give it a try!
