Directions

• STEP ONE
  Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil over
  high heat. Add a dash of salt, then add the broccoli
  florets and cook until tender, about 6 minutes. Drain
  the broccoli and set aside until needed.

• STEP TWO
  Bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat. Add
  a dash of salt, then add the pasta and cook until al
  dente, about 9 minutes for most pasta brands.

• STEP THREE
  While the pasta cooks, make your sauce. In a large
  saute pan, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add
  in the garlic and pepper flakes (if using) and cook for
  1 minute, or until the garlic is fragrant and starts to
  shimmer. Add in the broccoli and wine (or chicken
  broth). Season with salt and pepper and simmer on
  medium-low for 8 minutes.

• STEP FOUR
  Drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Increase heat
  to medium-high and stir in the broccoli sauce. Add
  the cheese and lemon juice and toss until well
  combined. Taste and add more salt and pepper
  if needed.

• STEP FIVE
  Transfer to a large serving platter and serve at once!
