Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the gluten free pasta and cook according to package directions until just al dente, tender with a slight resistance at the center. In the last 3 minutes of cooking, add the broccoli florets to the same pot. Drain together in a colander and set aside.

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute — watch closely so it doesn't brown.
