This is a great quick meal.  To make the sauce richer, use more soy milk and less water.

P.S.  I like recipes that make a LOT.  We're big on leftovers here. But this recipe halves easily for people who don't want to make so much.

  15            ounces  chickpeas, canned or cooked
  1                cup  fatfree soy milk

Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling water.  After 5 minutes, add frozen veggies.  Return to a boil, cooking until the pasta is done.  Reserve one cup of the pasta's cooking liquid, then drain it and return it to pot.

While pasta is cooking, combine soy milk, garlic, and seasonings in small saucepan.  When pasta is done, add the reserved cooking water, and heat mixture over medium high heat. When it reaches a boil, add the cornstarch/water mixture, stirring constantly until thickened.  Pour over pasta and toss well to coat.  Serve with vegan parmesan, if desired.
