Pasta,Mushrooms and Broccoli W/ Creamy Tomato Sauce image

I am not partial to pasta salad, but my husband is,and this one is the only one I truly like.It's from a cookbook titled The Pasta Salad Cookbook. The only changes I made was to slice the mushrooms thickly,and add some Parmesan while mixing it for the final time - and of course, add more to my serving.
