Cook pasta in plenty of boiling water
until done but still firm. While pasta is cooking, heat oil over
moderate heat in a large saucepan. Add onion, garlic, and mushrooms
and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in broth, yams, zucchini,
garbanzos, and raisins. Raise the heat to high and bring the mixture
to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer just until the potatoes
are fork-tender, about 10 minutes.
