    Instructions

    • Cook the pasta according to package directions, then drain.
    • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the garlic and sauté for a minute or two over low heat, just until golden.
    • Add the broccoli to the skillet along with about ¼ cup water. Cover and steam over medium heat until the broccoli is bright green and just a little beyond tender-crisp. Remove from the heat.
    • Combine the cooked pasta with the broccoli mixture (along with any liquid remaining in the pan) and dried tomatoes in a serving container. Toss together and season with salt and pepper.
    • Serve at once, passing around dried hot red pepper flakes, and lemon or lime wedges if desired for embellishing individual portions.

    Note: Since dried tomatoes are used generously in this dish, you may want to consider using those that are nice and moist but not oil-cured. But that's entirely up to you.
