Steam broccoli until fork tender; cook pasta according to package directions.
In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat; add garlic; cooked 1 minute; add flour; stir to make a roux.
When it looks like a paste, slowly add in tomato sauce, milk and cream; whisk until combined and no clumps of flour remain. Add salt, pepper and oregano. Bring sauce to a simmer; whisk until thickened.
Add mushrooms; lower heat to medium-low; simmer for 5-6 minutes to cook the mushrooms. Add in the Parmesan cheese; stir until melted. Add pasta and broccoli; stir.
