Stir until smooth paste forms.
Add broth, a little at a time, stirring after each addition until smooth.
Remove from heat and stir in pepper, soymilk.
Lightly oil baking pan or ovenproof casserole.
Combine pasta mixture with sauce; place in pan or casserole.
Topping: Sprinkle on or almonds. Bake until golden brown on top, about 30 minutes. Makes 8 servings.

Variations: As a time-saver, 2 cups of mushroom soup prepared according to package directions with either milk or water can be used rather than making the sauce from scratch.
