I love garlic and include it in most of my recipes, and it is no different with pasta. I have not found the perfect jar of garlic marinara sauce for an easy pasta dish, so I decided to make my own. 

I normally use Banza chickpea pasta noodles for added protein, but I saw a sale on Kroger's Simple Truth Red Lentil and Quinoa pasta and decided to try it out. I cooked the noodles according to directions and drained them. Then I used the same pot on medium heat to combine a package of garlic hummus and a jar of marinara sauce. I stir until combined which normally takes about 5 minutes. Then I top the noodles with the pasta sauce and enjoy. 

This is a easy and quick meal that can be easily modified by adding veggies or spices to make it your own.
