Makes 4 servings

Ingredients
6 ounces cavatelli or rotelle pasta (spirals)
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon olive oil
4 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 cups broccoli florets
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 ounce Parmesan cheese, grated
Freshly cracked black pepper

In large pot of boiling water, cook pasta 7-9 minutes, until tender. Drain, reserving
1/4 cup pasta water, and place in large serving bowl; keep warm. Place large
nonstick skillet over medium-high heat 30 seconds; add oil and heat 30 seconds
more. Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add broccoli; cook 3-4 minutes, until tender-crisp. Add broccoli mixture, basil
and salt to pasta; toss, adding just enough of the reserved pasta water to moisten.
Top evenly with cheese and pepper.
