A taste revelation! You must try this weird combo immediately...

[BarbaraVineFan]

Bear with me and trust the process :

1. Dollop of hummus.
2. About half a teaspoon of miso paste.
3. A glug of olive oil.
4. Mix all these together and then stir through pasta (hot or cold).

I promise you - a revelation! You should all.try it forthwith and thank me later...

Optional : some ground black pepper or chili flakes on top

Disappointed that nobody. NOBODY has leapt into the thread to congratulate me on this amazing gastronomic discovery.

Humph. Off to eat more miso hummus pasta deliciousness

😂This has made me laugh. Might screenshot the gubbings and try it next week lol hummus and pasta … does seem a strange combo though!

I will have to try this!

Hmm. I’m not that familiar with miso paste, is it quite flavoursome? Because while I love hummus it doesn’t sound like the most exciting thing to pair with pasta. I’d need to jazz it up with something!

I'm not a fan of miso, and to be honest don't often have pasta, so it's probably not for me but I'm all for odd combinations and am fever chucking whatever I've got at home together.

Nothing new as we had them when we were kids but recently I've been loving peanut butter and beetroot sandwiches. Disappointingly nobody in the household will so much as try them and at the same time seem very sure they aren't missing out. How wrong they are.

I don't like pasta, OP. Any other suggestions as to use?

This was precisely my thought process. Miso is full of flavour and really jazzes up the hummus beautifully! Trust me. You must try it.

You could spread on toast, or use as a dip for crackers or tortilla chips.

See. I am not only a culinary genius, but VERSATILE.

Is it not beige on beige OP?

I love pasta tossed in miso butter but your hummus twist has thrown me! Sounds potentially claggy.

Nooooooo! It is POETRY.

I actually like claggy. Might try with tortilla chips - that sounds nice. But I'll eat (or at least try) pretty much anything. Just not pasta.

Pasta and chickpeas is a classic combo, and I’m sure I’ve seen a recipe for a smooth chickpea sauce for pasta before, so this isn’t as out there as it sounds.

Ooh, pickled or plain boiled beetroot? I already have peanut butter with cucumber slices so it’s not much of a leap, I can see how it would work.

This is intriguing, but I am not a big beetroot eater. Bloody love peanut butter though - I might give it a try in the interests of gastronomic experimentation.

I'm going to give it a go. Since discovering that vegetarian sausages dipped in raspberry jam is one of my favourite snacks, I have developed a love of trying weird food combinations.

I'll report back when I've tried it 😂

I like hummus (though boring) and miso so will give it a try, thanks op.

this sounds promising, OP, I just need to buy some miso
you may like to try peanut butter and lime pickle sandwiches, grated carrot optional

@newtlover i like your style!

Hurrah! Delighted to have gathered a merry band of pasta miso hummus friends :)

Miso and tahini is my fave salad dressing, from
https://www.gousto.co.uk/cookbook/vegan-recipes/roasted-squash-grain-bowl-miso-tahini-dressing, and there’s tahini in hummus plus chickpeas go with pasta, so this makes sense.

Yup, clag tastic surely?

What shape of pasta OP?

Miso is foul. So no. 🤣

Is it best with a pork or lamb chop? Or perhaps steak if I can get a bank loan ?
