This recipe is from cookbook called  Anne SheasbyLow Fat Low Cholesterol. I found very good recipes from this book. I used olive oil instead of broth. It was easy to make. We enjoyed eating this light pasta dish.
 Ingredients
1 lb small broccoli florets
2 tbsp broth or olive oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 small red chili pepper. sliced, or
1/2 tsp chili sauce
4 tbsp plain low fat yogurt
2 tbsp toasted pine nuts
3 cups penne pasta
salt and pepper
Preparation Method
Add the pasta to a large pan of lightly salted boiling water and return to a boil. Place the broccoli  in a steamer basket over the top. Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes until both are just tender. drain.
Heat the oil or broth and add the crushed garlic and chili or chili sauce. Stir over low heat for 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the broccoli, pasta and yogurt. Adjust the seasoning, sprinkle with nuts, and serve hot.
