Pasta With Chickpea Sauce image

This recipe was adapted from a recipe in Jane Brody's "Good Food Book." I made some changes and additions to make it more in keeping with a Nutritarian eating style. This is good with or without the pasta. You can reduce prep time by using jarred garlic, frozen onions and mushrooms.

The sauce was too thick for my liking. I would add more liquid next time.
