Pasta with Melted Broccoli, Garlic and Chili

Southern Italian home cooking at its thriftiest: a whole head of broccoli, stems and all, slowly braised in olive oil with garlic and chili flakes until it collapses into a soft, savory, spoonable sauce, then tossed with penne, starchy pasta water and sharp Pecorino Romano. Five pantry ingredients and about 35 minutes.
