Hummus Linguini with Zucchini Recipe

November 5, 2021

I had a wonderful zucchini season this past summer and in addition to making several zucchini bread loaves, I was on the hunt for finding a more savory recipe for this versatile fruit. Did you know that although it is treated and widely referred to as a vegetable, zucchini is actually a fruit? Anyway, I found this recipe that combines zucchini with pasta and is married with a nice and tasty hummus sauce. I still have future plans for making more zucchini bread, but I am planning on making a gluten-free variety for the first time. Stay tuned.

The Recipe

At first, I thought the idea of using hummus with pasta would be too dry, but this recipe actually works. Traditionally, hummus is a Middle Eastern dip, spread, or savory dish made from cooked, mashed chickpeas blended with tahini, lemon juice, and garlic. I think the addition of the liquid from the broth with the consistency of the hummus, made for a nice and creamy sauce. It just works and I can appreciate the addition of a protein-rich source with the use of chickpeas in this simple and easy to prepare meal. I would like to thank Dara from the Cookin Canuck for this exceptional recipe. It’s got a generous amount of flavor and an interesting way to use zucchini.

The Ingredients

13 Ounces Whole-Wheat Linguini
2 Teaspoons Olive Oil
1/2 Onion Thinly Sliced
2 Garlic Cloves Minced
1/4 Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
4 Cups Julienned Zucchini

About Laura G

Hi, I'm Laura G. A photographer, blogger and self-proclaimed food connoisseur.

As a child, I was exposed to a wide variety of foods. My mother had my siblings and me try foods at least once and if we didn't like what we tasted, we didn't have to eat it again. Luckily, I enjoyed almost everything that I tried. Unfortunately, in my adult years, I've been living with an autoimmune disease that has forced me to reevaluate my food choices. Even though I can no longer eat the foods I once enjoyed, many great alternatives have presented themselves. I believe we truly are what we eat and I look for the best food ingredients to fuel my body. I hope the recipes here on this food blog inspire you in your own food preparation endeavors.
