Broccolini Sautéed With Olive Oil And Garlic Food

ITALIAN STYLE BROCCOLI AND GARLIC SIDE DISH

Steps:

• Clean and cut fresh broccoli into medium size heads (shave off the sides to the stalks and chop them small if you want to use everything)
• Heat 2-3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil in a medium frying pan over low heat
• Crush the garlic and chop fine or in thin slices and add to the olive oil
• Simmer the garlic for a few minutes until fragrant (about 2-3 minutes)
• Add in the broccoli pieces and cover with lid to trap any steam.
• Add a little bit of water to promote steam and let cook about 5 to 10 minutes or until the broccoli is bright green and is still firm. You don't want overcooked broccoli!
• When done remove from heat and set aside until ready to serve.
• Top with grated Italian Romano cheese for additional flavor if preferred.

GARLIC OIL SAUTEED PASTA WITH BROCCOLI

Steps:

• In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil, garlic, and pepper flakes over medium heat until fragrant. Once the garlic has turned golden in color, remove it from the pan. You are left with garlic-infused oil in the pan. Add the broccoli to the pan.
• Cook's Note: Be sure the broccoli is completely dry before tossing it into the pan.
• Toss the broccoli to coat with the oil. Season with salt and pepper and saute over medium heat until the broccoli barely loses some of its crunch, about 5 minutes. Turn the heat up to high and deglaze the pan with the red wine vinegar. Add a few tablespoons of water, if needed.
• Cook's Note: Use pasta water if the pasta was made fresh.
• Add in the pasta and toss to coat with the oil. Top with Parmesan cheese for serving.
