Step 1

Boil a large pot of water (salt the water, if desired). Add the chickpea pasta; cook until al dente, according to the package directions.

Step 2

While the pasta cooks, heat the oil (or water) in a large, heavy skillet set over medium-high heat until hot. Add the tomatoes.

Step 3

Cook and stir the tomatoes for 4 to 6 minutes until the tomatoes begin to brown and burst.  Continue cooking and stirring for a minute longer.

Step 4

Drain the pasta; add to the skillet with the tomatoes, tossing to combine and coat the pasta.

Step 5

Remove the skillet from the heat and add the parsley and vegan Parmesan cheese; gently toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Step 6

Eat and enjoy!
