Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Cook the noodles in rapidly simmering water until al dente, about 10 to 12 minutes, then drain.
In the meantime, heat the margarine a small skillet. Add the crushed garlic cloves and saute over medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until they are golden. Remove from the heat and discard the garlic cloves.
Combine the tofu and milk in a food processor and pour in the melted margarine from the skillet. Process until completely smooth and creamy. Combine the hot, drained noodles and the sauce in a large serving bowl and toss together. Season to taste with freshly ground pepper and toss again. Serve at once. Pass around Parmesan cheese to whoever wants some.
This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
