Creamy Lemon & Dill Pasta
You need to try this one. Kind of an accidental creation when I was in a bit of a rush, but it sure turned out SO delicious that I just had to snap a quick photo to share the recipe with you all!
The secret sauce ingredient: hummus!!
Hummus is not just for dipping and spreading, but also makes a delicious, creamy pasta sauce when thinned out. Next time you make a tomato based pasta dish, try stirring a tbsp or two of hummus into the sauce just before serving for a deliciously creamy finish!
Such a filling, tasty and quick lunch or dinner.
