Directions:
Cook bow-tie pasta according to package direction in a large pot of boiling, salted water.
Add the brocolli to the pot for the final two minutes of cooking. Drain well. In a very large bowl, combine all the other ingredients, gently combining to thoroughly coat salad with the dressing and seasonings. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, Parmesan, red pepper flakes, or additional oil and vinegar. Refrigerate for a few hours before serving.
