Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining.

While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat and drizzle in olive oil. Allow to heat for 1-2 minutes.

Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant and golden.

Add broccoli florets to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.

Drain the cooked pasta and add it to the skillet. Toss gently to combine and add reserved pasta water if needed for consistency.

Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the mixture and stir for 1-2 minutes until melted and creamy.

Serve warm, garnished with extra Parmesan if desired.
