Instructions
In a large pot, whisk flour, salt, Italian seasoning and pepper into milk and water; heat over medium-high heat just until steaming, stirring twice. Stir in rotini; cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring often, for 10 min.
Stir in broccoli; cover and simmer for about 2 min longer or until rotini is almost tender.
Uncover and cook, stirring gently, for about 3 min or until pasta is tender but firm, broccoli is tender-crisp and sauce is thickened. Stir in tomatoes and Parmesan; cook, breaking up tomatoes with a spoon, until heated through. Serve sprinkled with basil.
