This pasta dish starts with a homemade beet hummus. For the beet hummus, you’ll need the following ingredients:

Chickpeas
Lemon
Tahini
Cooked beets
Garlic
Extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt
Pepper

For completing the dish, you’ll need the following:

Plus some reserved pasta cooking water, which helps thin out the hummus into more of a sauce when tossing it with the pasta.

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Make the beet hummus: In a food processor fitted with the ‘S’ blade, blend together all of the ingredients until smooth.

Cook the pasta: Cook the pasta according to the directions on the package. Drain, reserving 1 ½ cups of the water that the pasta was cooked in.

Return the pasta to the pot. Add 1 cup of the hummus, the parmesan, the olive oil, and 1 cup of reserved water. Toss together until combined, adding more water if needed to thin.

Serve with additional parmesan and fresh herbs.
