Ingredients

1 package rotini or farfalle pasta , 8 ounce
1 bag broccoli florets , 12 ounce
0.25 cups olive oil
4 teaspoons minced garlic
0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
0.5 cups finely shredded Romano cheese
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Instructions

1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook pasta at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain and return to pot.
2

While the pasta cooks, place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water, just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add broccoli, cover, and steam until tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
3

Heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir garlic and red pepper flakes until garlic is fragrant, 1 to 3 minutes. Add garlic mixture and broccoli to pasta; gently toss to coat.

Add cheese, parsley, black pepper, and salt; toss to combine.
