Hummus Dressing

Hummus Dressing

Ingredients:
3 ¼ cups water
2 cups uncooked brown rice or quinoa pasta
3 tablespoons of nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon salt
ACTIONS:
1. In a pot, add the brown rice pasta to water. Bring it to a
boil over high heat. Stir the pasta and reduce the heat to
medium-low. Keep stirring until the pasta is soft, 10–20
minutes. As it cooks, the pasta will soak up the water and
begin to take on a creamy appearance.
Note: Usually when we cook pasta, there is much more
water in the pot and then the pasta is drained. But for this
dish to succeed and achieve a natural creaminess, we need
the pasta to soak up the water. The residual liquid in the
pot will become the base for the creamy sauce, so do not
drain it.
2. Add the nutritional yeast and the salt to the pot of pasta
and stir until well combined with the water to form the
sauce.
TIPS:
1. Add 1–2 teaspoons thyme for flavor.

2. Add 1 tablespoon coconut oil, for extra smoothness and
additional health benefits.
3. Use extra nutritional yeast if you like a cheesier taste, or if
needed to soak up some liquid.
VARIATIONS:
1. Add 1 tablespoon of pepper and stir in at the end for
Peppery Mac ’n’ Cheese.
2. Replace brown rice pasta with brown rice for Risotto.
Then add mushrooms, onion, and tomatoes to flavor your
Risotto.
