Cook the Rigatoni
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rigatoni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.

Prepare the Broccoli
In the same pot, add olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Then add the broccoli florets and sauté for about 5 minutes until they are tender but still vibrant in color.

Combine Ingredients
Add the cooked rigatoni back into the pot with the broccoli. Pour in the vegetable broth and tomato sauce if making the red version. Stir well to combine. If the mixture is too dry, add some reserved pasta water to achieve desired consistency.

Season and Serve
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. If desired, stir in nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor. For non-vegan versions, add slices of prosciutto. Serve hot and enjoy!
