Whenever we have leftover pasta (which we do fairly often as it's an easy meal for my mom) in our refrigerator at home I can never resist adding a big spoonful of hummus and some cheddar cheese and warming it all up in the microwave until it's all melted and gooey.  I mix it all up until the hummus and cheese covers all the pasta.  It looks pretty unappetizing but the smell of the garlic and the cheese is really delicious.  I never really make this meal on the first run of the pasta, it's almost always with leftover pasta...and believe me I pounce at that pasta when it's there!  I'm not even that sure how I found this meal, I think my mom tried it one day (without the cheese) and mentioned it, so I tried it.  But, my mom apparently didn't like it as much as I did because she has never done it again, and I do it pretty much weekly.  It is so comfortingly warm and tasty.  And I miss it terribly here at Bryn Mawr!
