Ingredients:

1 cup farfalle pasta
1 broccoli floret
4-6 garlic cloves
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Instructions:

Step	Description
1	Sauté garlic and butter in a pan until fragrant and lightly golden.
2	Be cautious not to overcook the garlic, ensuring it is only slightly browned.
3	Steam the broccoli florets until they turn a vibrant green color and become tender.
4	Cook the farfalle pasta according to the packaging instructions, aiming for al dente texture. For instance, when using Barilla pasta, cook for approximately 11 minutes.
5	Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and combine it with the sautéed garlic and butter mixture in a large mixing bowl.
6	Add the steamed broccoli florets to the bowl, gently mixing everything together to ensure even distribution.
7	Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the pasta and broccoli mixture, incorporating it thoroughly.
8	Transfer the combined mixture into an oven-safe dish, spreading it evenly.
9	Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the cheese to melt into a golden crust.
10	Once baked to perfection, remove from the oven and serve hot, garnished with additional parmesan cheese if desired.
