Ken’s Pasta/Hummus Supreme
This will make about 3 Lbs. of pasta (a crowd pleaser portion).

1) In a medium or large sauce pan, cook one 16 oz package of pasta - I usually use rice pasta, but
wheat or corn works too.
2) drain the pasta - return it to the sauce pan, and stir in about three quarters cup olive oil while
pasta is still hot.
3) add a 32 oz can of diced tomatoes - or better yet, fresh, canned, or frozen tomatoes from your
garden or local vendor. I’m guessing this would equate to 4 to 6 medium sized tomatoes - they need
not be cooked. Make sure to remove the skins if you use your own tomatoes.
4) slowly stir in about one cup dried hummus dip mix. (you can find this at most natural foods stores).
note: hummus dip that is pre mixed into a paste does not seem to work as well - try to use the
powdered or dried stuff. As you stir, you are hoping to achieve a paste-like consistency - like that of
macaroni and cheese. If it is too dry, add more olive oil or tomato - too wet - add more hummus. Add
hummus slowly so it doesn’t clump together in the pasta.
5) stir in a few healthy pinches of dried basil
6) salt and pepper to taste - this is one of those dishes you can season with almost anything - and
add a variety of seeds, veggies, etc. if you wish. It is filling and stays with you.
