Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Boil a sauce pan of water and add chopped broccoli florets for 45 seconds, then scoop them out and set aside. Keep the water boiling and add pasta. Cook until "al dente" using pasta box instructions.
Drain water using a strainer and put shells back in the sauce pan. Add sour cream and mix it up. Set aside.
In another sauce pan (yes, you have to dirty two), combine milk, flour, salt and pepper over medium heat. Whisk constantly until thickened (it happens kinda fast like cook n' serve pudding). Reduce heat to simmer and mix in shredded cheese until completely dissolved.
