Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°. Add the tomatoes, mushrooms, artichokes, chopped garlic, Italian seasoning and a good pinch of salt and pepper to a 8 X11 baking dish and toss with the olive oil.
Make a well in the center and add the hummus and pesto. Do not mix! Bake for 35 minutes uncovered.
While veggies are roasting, cook pasta according to directions in salted boiling water. Drain, do not rinse and toss with a good drizzle of olive oil. Set aside.
Remove the casserole dish from the oven and gently mash tomatoes with a fork, then mix everything together to create a sauce. Toss in the pasta and drizzle in the reserved pasta water a little at a time if needed to loosen the sauce and coat the pasta. Season to taste with salt and pepper if necessary.
Plate up the pasta and serve with lemons, chopped basil and red pepper flakes if you like. Enjoy! Photos, Tips, suggestions in above post.
