For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine to the skillet while sautéing the broccoli. Toasting the red pepper flakes in the olive oil for a minute before adding the broccoli will enhance their spiciness. If you don't have cavatelli pasta, orecchiette or shells would also work well in this recipe.
