Print This Recipe



INGREDIENTS

1 whole head broccoli
1 quart water
1 tablespoon salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
Pepper
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Separate the broccoli florets and trim the tough skin from the stalks.

Put the broccoli leaves in boiling water with salt. A minute later, add the flowerettes. Return to a boil and cook for 6 to 8 minutes until tender, but resistant to the bite. Drain.

Heat the olive oil in a pan and add the garlic. Cook over moderate heat for 1 minute and add the broccoli leaves and flowerettes. Cook, tossing, about 2 minutes. Taste for seasoning and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese to taste.
