Prepare penne according to box directions, drain and rinse. Set aside.

While penne is cooking, prepare broccoli according to package directions (steaming is nice so you can lock in the flavor). Chop tomatoes and mince garlic.

In a medium bowl combine all ingredients, adding olive oil before spices and minced garlic.

Toss gently and enjoy warm or refrigerate for 1-2 hours for a cold salad.

(Optional) Add feta or a little parmesan for taste. This also can be used as a main dish by adding grilled chicken to it!
