  4. Add the cooked farfalle to the skillet with the garlic butter.
  5. Add the steamed broccoli to the skillet and stir to combine.
  6. Stir in 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup of pasta water until creamy. Add more pasta water if needed to reach desired consistency.
  7. Pour the pasta mixture into a greased oven-safe dish.
  8. Bake for 5-10 minutes at 350°F (175°C), or until heated through and bubbly.
