Pasta ai Broccoli

2 heads broccoli, cut into florets
1/2 box penne pasta
3 garlic cloves
crushed red pepper flakes

Bring water to boil. Add chopped broccoli. Bring again to boil. Add salt and pasta.

Meanwhile, heat olive oil in skillet with minced garlic and red pepper flakes.

Drain the cooked pasta, but try to keep the broccoli particles with the pasta. Add pasta and broccoli to oil in skillet. Mix well.

Top with shredded parmesan before serving.

**The traditional version of this recipe uses Broccoli Rabe instead of conventional broccoli. I like to use broccolini. In this picture I used both conventional broccoli and broccolini.
