Like a creamy alfredo with way less cream, this hearty dish is rich in protein and flavour.

Ingredients

200 g rigatoni pasta
2 tsp olive oil
2 broccoli crowns, cut into florets (6 cups)
1 1/2 cups store-bought marinara sauce
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup store-bought roasted red pepper hummus
1/2 cup 10% cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped parsley, (optional)

Instructions

In a large pot of boiling water, cook pasta according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water and then drain.
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high. Add oil, then broccoli. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 3 to 4 min. Stir in marinara, pasta water and salt. Cook until broccoli is just tender, 2 to 3 min. Stir in hummus and cream until sauce is warmed through.
Add drained pasta to sauce and toss until combined. Divide among bowls. Sprinkle with Parmesan and parsley.
