Instructions

Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Then cook your pasta according to the package directions for 'al dente' pasta. Drain it but reserve some of the pasta water, and set it aside.
Meanwhile, use a deep skillet to sauté the onion and garlic with 2-3 tablespoons of water over medium heat until translucent, approx. 3-4 minutes. Then add the asparagus and broccoli, season with salt and pepper, and continue sautéing until tender, approx. 6-8 minutes.
While the vegetables are cooking, combine the broth, milk, tapioca starch, and red pepper flakes in a bowl or measuring cup. Mix well and then pour the sauce into the skillet with the veggies. Simmer until thickened, approx. 2-3 minutes and then turn off the heat.
By now your pasta should be cooked, so add it to the pan with the sauce and veggies along with the vegan parmesan cheese, and mix well.
Optional: For a thinner sauce, add some of the pasta water you reserved to the pan and stir. (To your preference.)
