The hero of this healthy vegan baked pasta recipe is obviously the hummus. While you can technically use homemade hummus, I opted to use store bought. For this specific recipe, I highly recommend using Hope Foods Original Hummus. Before I get into the details, this is not a sponsored post, though I wish it were.

Hope Foods Original Hummus is made with real ingredients and there is nothing bad in it. Several hummus brands and flavors on the market are full of nonsense from the oils to the additives, so quality matters! Especially when you’re putting it into your body. So be sure to check it out and grab some prior to making this Vegan Baked Hummus Pasta recipe.

Even though it’s fool-proof to make, it’s super delicious. The aroma alone will have everyone begging for more!

Ingredients

• Organic Yellow Onion: Either a small yellow onion or white onion works.

• Organic Sun Dried Tomatoes: Optional, but recommended to elevate this baked pasta recipe.
• Organic Hummus: Essential for the hummus pasta sauce! Homemade or store bought, whatever you got will work! My favorite brand is Hope Foods Original Hummus. It’s probably one of the cleanest hummus out there and it takes this healthy vegan pasta recipe to the next level. 
• Organic Herbs: Italian seasoning, nutritional yeast, red pepper flakes, sea salt, and black pepper,
• Organic Lemon: A squeeze of fresh lemon juice adds some freshness!
• Organic Spinach: Stirred in at the very end to provide our healthy vegan pasta with some additional nutrients.
• Organic Pasta: It wouldn’t be a baked pasta recipe without it. I love using pasta that are made with one ingredient – chickpea flour. They taste just like the real thing and it’s high in protein! My favorite brands are Tolerant and Chickapea!
• Organic Fresh Basil: If you’ve got some on hand, it’s the perfect topping!

How To Make

1. Prepare. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a casserole safe dish, add the chopped onions, minced garlic, sliced cherry tomatoes, chopped sun dried tomatoes, dried herbs, and seasonings. Toss to combine and then place the hummus in the center.
2. Bake. Transfer the casserole to the oven, uncovered, and bake for 20 – 25 minutes. 
3. Cook the Pasta. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the pasta & stir to prevent sticking. Cook to al dente according to package directions. Drain the pasta.Set aside. 
4. Sauce. Once the casserole is done. Remove from the oven and smash the tomatoes down using a spoon and stir the hummus until it transpires a sauce. 
5. Combine. Stir in the nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and spinach, until wilted, before adding the cooked pasta.
6. Serve. Divide between bowls and garnish with fresh basil. Enjoy!

Tips for Making this Vegan Baked Pasta Perfectly 

• Organic Noodles: Chickpea pasta can be swapped for any kind of pasta noodle that you have on hand!
• Protein Noodles: To amplify the protein, I love using pasta that are made with one ingredient – chickpea flour. They taste just like the real thing and it’s high in protein! My favorite brands are Tolerant and Chickapea!
• Organic Hummus: I like to use Hope Foods Original Hummus for the hummus pasta sauce, as it is made with simple + clean ingredients.
• Organic Vegetables: Feel free to add even more vegetables. I think sliced mushrooms or asparagus would pair nicely.
