Season boiling water in the same pot with salt. Cook cavatelli in boiling water until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté garlic in hot oil until lightly golden, being careful not to burn it. Add broccoli; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet crisp to the bite, about 10 minutes.
