Festive Fusilli

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Heat large covered saucepot of salted water to boiling on high. Add pasta and cook as label directs, adding broccoli when 3 minutes of cooking time remain.

Meanwhile, in bowl, toss tomatoes with garlic, oil, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Spread tomato mixture in 15 1/2" by 10 1/2" jelly-roll pan, and roast 15 minutes or until tomatoes wrinkle and begin to burst, stirring halfway through cooking time.

Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water; drain pasta and broccoli. Add reserved pasta cooking water to jelly-roll pan, stirring to scrape up any browned bits. Return pasta and broccoli to saucepot; stir in tomato mixture, Romano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
