Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti until al dente, following the package directions. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, drain, and return the pasta to the pot to keep warm.
2. Heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the sliced onion for 5-7 minutes, until fragrant and soft. Add the sliced garlic cloves and cook for 30 seconds. Add the 1 cup spinach and cook for about 1 minute, until slightly wilted.
3. Add the 1 cup plain hummus, about 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water, the juice and zest of 1 lemon, and stir until a creamy sauce forms. Add more pasta water a little at a time to thin the sauce as desired.
4. Move the cooked spaghetti into the skillet, turn off the heat and toss everything together. Top with the 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil and the pinch of crushed red pepper.
5. Serve right away.
