Broccoli With Pasta in a Savory Curry and Mustard Sauce

Not your same old broccoli and cheese. This dish is a great and filling side to any meal with a twist. You can substitute any kind of pasta you like but I prefer Rotini. Since there's no cheese in this recipe, and by using low fat yogurt and low sodium chicken broth this can be very healthy too.
