Broccoli With Garlic Herb Butter

---

This is a recipe from my 2008 weight watchers cookbook that we really enjoyed. i altered it slightly for our taste. it's a nice way to enjoy broccoli without all the cheese sauce. it's got a nice bite to it too. feel free to leave out the crushed red pepper flakes. the frozen steam bags of broccoli work well with this recipe.
