I am so hungry for some pasta, but don't know what to add to it. I found this listed in a magazine and would love to try it. Does anyone have any suggestions to make it better. I can have milk, but I can not have broccoli. ANY IDEAS ON HOW TO ADD OR ADJUST THIS FOR US WITH IBS???

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta shells according to package directions. Add broccoli florets to the pot 3 minutes before pasta is cooked through. Drain well and reserve.
