Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the broccoli florets. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, diced red bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
In a small bowl, whisk together the low-fat milk and all-purpose flour until smooth.
Pour the milk and flour mixture into the skillet with the vegetables. Stir continuously and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and salt to the skillet. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
Add the drained pasta and broccoli to the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated with the Alfredo sauce and vegetables are evenly distributed.
Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
