As a hummus lover, I had just been telling myself to MAKE some instead of getting premade. This is PERFECT! Thanks. Great step by step instructions too! Your version of Pasta Al Limone was absolutely delicious, and so much easier than any other recipe I had tried!
Hi Tina, the baking soda creates an alkaline environment in the water and breaks down the pectin in the chickpeas so their skins come off more easily. I added that to the recipe instructions so it’s more clear. Thanks for the heads up!
