Notes
Don't Overcook: Refer to the package instructions for cooking time and cook pasta until it is just al dente.
Hummus: Mix hummus with reserved pasta water until smooth and has pourable consistency before adding it to the pan.
Sauce: I used just enough sauce to lightly coat the pasta, as my kids prefer it that way. You can add extra sauce to make the pasta creamier and saucier.
Pasta: Check the packet for cooking time, follow the instructions and cook until al dente.
