Green Salmon Pasta
I love hummus and since I tried it as a pasta sauce, I always make sure I have a pot in the fridge.
Creamy and delicious, it’s a great alternative for heavy creamy sauces and blends perfectly with my favourite greens. You can use store-bought dip or make it from scratch, using my quick recipe for delicious homemade hummus.
