Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Halve the broccoli if large. Add the pasta and broccoli to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate. Boil, 4 to 6 min., until the pasta is al dente and the broccoli is tender. Reserving 1 cup cooking water, drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking. Transfer to a bowl and reserve the pot.
