Step 1
Put your pasta on to cook according to package instructions. Drain and set aside but keep 1 cup of the pasta water to use in your sauce.
Step 2
Add olive oil and chopped onions to a pot on medium heat and sauté until the onions are softened.
Step 3
Add crushed garlic and red pepper flakes and sauté for around 1 minute to lightly toast the spices.
Step 4
Add sun dried tomatoes and sauté for a couple of minutes to heat and blend the flavors.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and add hummus, lemon juice and half a cup of the reserved pasta water and stir it in. You can keep adding small amounts of pasta water until the sauce is as thick/thin as you like.
Step 6
Cook until the sauce is mixed well and heated through.
Step 7
Turn off the heat and add in chopped basil and salt and pepper and mix it in.
Step 8
Add the cooked pasta and fold into the sauce so that the pasta is well coated. You can add in a little more reserved pasta water at this stage if you need to, to thin the sauce out a bit more.
Step 9
Serve topped with ground black pepper, with lemon wedges on the side.
