Add the cavatelli to the boiling water and cook according to package directions until al dente, tender with a slight resistance at the center. About 1 minute before the pasta is done, add the broccoli florets directly to the pot. Before draining, scoop out at least 1/2 cup of the starchy cooking water and set it aside. Drain the pasta and broccoli together.
