Broccoli Aglio Olio With Garlic And Olive Oil
Simple and delicious. A true italian staple for any dinner. This recipe is just about the only way my mother and grandmother cooked their vegetables!!
Steps
Steam broccoli over a pot of boiling water , or in a veggie steamer , for about 5 minutes.
Feel free to steam more or less , depending on how your family likes their veggies cooked.
Keep in mind that you will also be sauting the broccoli in the next step.
In a large saute pan , heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the garlic and saute for about 45 seconds to impart its flavors into the oil.
Before the garlic begins to brown , add the red pepper flakes and broccoli to the pan and cook for another 5 minutes , or until cooked to your liking.
Season with salt and pepper and serve.
