Time 18m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 head broccoli, sliced into very thin florets, stalk peeled and cut into matchsticks
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Few tablespoons water or pasta cooking water, if needed
2 cups penne pasta, cooked al dente
Parmesan cheese, for garnish

Steps:
