You can watch the video in the post for visual instructions.First, cook the pasta according to its package instructions (usually minus 1-2 minutes for al dente pasta), then drain it, reserving one cup of the pasta cooking water.

Step 2

Meanwhile, soak the sun-dried tomatoes in hot water for 5-10 minutes, then drain and chop them into small pieces. Then, peel and finely dice the onion and mince/crush the garlic.

Step 3

While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes, until soft and fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sun-dried tomatoes and sauté for a few more minutes, then stir in the garlic to sauté for a minute.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low, stir in the hummus, lemon juice, and half a cup of the reserved pasta water.

Step 6

Stir in the spinach, basil, and seasonings (added to taste). Remove it from the heat.

Finally, stir the pasta into the sauce and, optionally, add more pasta water until you reach your desired consistency. Garnish with vegan Parmesan or nutritional yeast, and enjoy!
