I was looking for a different way to use up extra hummus from a function besides with pita chips and discovered this recipe. I was skeptical but really enjoyed it! I used green beans instead of mushrooms because that is what I had on hand and added cumin, cayenne, and red pepper flake.

I used some leftover basil pesto that I regularly make myself. For the pasta I used cheese ravioli. The Hummus made an excellent sauce and the flavors were great.
