Preparation
Hummus
Add all ingredients to a food processor except the water and start mixing then add a 1/4 cup of the water.
Keep mixing, stopping and scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
Taste and adjust for salt, lemon, and pepper.
Add more water if the texture is too dry.
Once you’ve got a creamy texture, scrape from the food processor bowl.
Pasta
Cook pasta according to package instructions and reserve some pasta water.
Start the pan with olive oil, chili flakes, onion and garlic.
Chop up some rapini and add it to the pan.
Add in cherry tomatoes and spinach.
Toss the pasta in the pan.
Add hummus and thin it with the reserved pasta water.
Toss everything together and season well with salt and pepper.
Put it in a bowl and serve.
Tips
Adjust the amount of water in the hummus for desired texture.
A little extra water won’t hurt the hummus but too little can make it gummy.
