As for steaming your vegetables, if you have on of those neat built in colander pots, you can briefly steam them with the same water after you take the pasta, but if not, you'll need to work something else out.
After you drain the pasta put it in a bowl and add some olive oil and mix it up so the pasta won't stick together. Crush your garlic on top of the pasta (if you don't have a garlic press, get one now). For a guideline, say 8-10 garlic cloves (big ones) per pound of uncooked pasta would be a good start out. In addition, add some salt, some fresh ground pepper, basil, oregano, red pepper or chilli powder and most importantly, spike and nutritional yeast. Throw in the vegetables and the more olive oil and mix it all up some more, then eat.
Best enjoyed with orange juice, particularly if there's lots of garlic.
