Step 1

Bring a well-salted 6-quart pot (fitted with a strainer basket) of water to a boil over high heat. Blanch the broccoli until it turns bright green and is crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain the broccoli, rinse under cold water, and set aside in a strainer basket. Return the water to a boil.

Step 2

Prepare the pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Reserve ¼ cup of the cooking water. Drain the pasta over the broccoli in the strainer basket and transfer to a large bowl. Add the olives, tomatoes, garlic, pepper flakes, cheese, and olive oil. Toss well and season with ¼ tsp. salt, using some of the reserved cooking water 1 or 2 Tbs. at a time to loosen the mixture, if necessary.

Step 3

Adjust the seasoning with more salt, granulated garlic, and pepper flakes, if desired. Serve drizzled with additional olive oil and pass more cheese at the table, if desired.

Step 4

Note: do not toss together. Serve pasta in bowl and top with broccoli and the rest. Use fresh garlic sauteed in olive oil instead of flakes.
