Move over hummus, another Middle Eastern dip deserves the spotlight! I hate to think that some of you have only heard about baba ganoush because of Wedding Crashers, but the reality is it just doesn’t get enough credit.

There is no traditional sauce here. The pasta is coated in a garlic herb infused olive oil that takes 15 minutes to make.
