2 tbsp (25 mL) extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

Meanwhile, in large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; cook garlic and hot pepper flakes, stirring often, until light golden, about 2 minutes. Add broccoli; cover and cook for 4 minutes.

Add broccoli mixture to pasta; toss to coat, adding enough of the reserved cooking water to moisten. Serve sprinkled with Asiago cheese.
