Flamin’ Hot Hummus Farfalle
Serves 4
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Hummus is rich and creamy, and a great base for making a healthy pasta sauce high in protein. Sure it makes a great snack with crackers or a veggie tray. But it’s also a perfect ingredient for this dish to energize you on a fasting & abstaining day.
