Preparation:

*Preferably thin egg noodles or whole wheat spaghetti GARNISH: scallion curls, opt. (Slice green part very thin lengthwise. Drop into ice water. Curls will form in about 15 minutes) Boil a large pot of water; cook pasta until al dente.

While pasta is cooking, heat oil in a saucepan. Add onion, garlic, mushrooms, and zucchini. Sauté until zucchini is tender but not mushy. Stir in remaining ingredients and cook over medium heat, covered, for about 8 minutes.

When pasta is done, drain well. Spoon vegetables over pasta. Garnish with scallion curls.

VARIATIONS: add 1-2 t finely minced gingerroot; sauté with vegetables NOTE: Vegans are strict vegetarians who eat neither animal flesh nor animal products, including all dairy products. The chickpeas and pasta complement each other to form a complete protein.
