Heat oil in a heavy non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Sauté garlic 1 minute. Stir in stock, beans and chili pepper flakes. Simmer 5 minutes or until sauce begins to thicken. Stir in pesto and set aside. While sauce is cooking, cook pasta in boiling salted water 7 minutes or until almost tender. Add broccoli and cook another 4-5 minutes or until broccoli is almost tender and pasta is al dente. Drain thoroughly. Transfer pasta and broccoli to sauce and toss until coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with Parmesan.
