Tips:
- Rinse and drain the chickpeas well to ensure the hummus has a smooth texture.
- If you prefer a stronger lemon flavor, consider adding a bit more lemon juice to taste.
- Freshly chopped parsley adds a bright, herbaceous flavor. Feel free to add more if you prefer a stronger herb taste.
- For a more robust flavor, sauté the onions in olive oil until they are soft and caramelized.
- Reserve some pasta water before draining to adjust the pasta sauce consistency.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of gluten-free pasta, such as chickpea or lentil pasta, for added protein and texture.
