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 tomatoes; cook, stirring, until broccoli is tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. Add parsley, salt and pepper; toss to combine.
Add broccoli mixture to pasta; toss to coat, adding enough of the reserved cooking water to moisten. Serve sprinkled with Asiago cheese.
