Most Delicious Pasta recipie (Vegetarian Friendly)

Ok all you home cooks!

Here is the most savory and delicious pasta meal you will ever have. Its not high in calories, and is vegetarian friendly.
The one downside is it takes 1.5 hours to cook, so not the kind of meal to start when you are starving, but if you have the time, it is well worth it. Everyone I've ever made this for raves about it! Its a whole meal in one.

2-3 garlic cloves - minced

Fresh rosemary sprig - whole

6 cups of water
4 packets of vegetable (or chicken) stock

Liquid should have reduced until it becomes the consistency of a gravy
