Ever feel like not being able to spend much time preparing your meal? Then you should give this yummy pasta creation a try. Not only is it a one-pot recipe, it is also very easy, quick to cook and vegan. The only effort you need to make is to cut some cherry tomatoes – but you could even use whole ones.

The sauce for this pasta recipe is hummus mixed with a little bit of olive oil. Of course, you could also make your own hummus (out of tahin, chickpeas, lemon, cumin and oil) but you might as well just buy one in the grocery store. By the way, hummus is very healthy. It is high in protein which is important for growth and immune function. Hummus also contains a lot of fiber which is good for digestion and promotes healthy gut bacteria.

Another ingredient in this recipe is spinach. One might already tell by its look how healthy it is. Spinach is a great source of various vitamins, as well as minerals. For example, iron helps with the body’s oxygen supply, calcium is essential for bone health and magnesium is good for your bones, muscles and nerves.
