Ingredients:
1 large crown broccoli, about 1 lb., cut into uniform bite-sized pieces
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp no salt added chicken or vegetable broth
2-3 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
2 tbsp Reggiano Parmesan Cheese
 

Directions
Steam the broccoli in a medium pot by bringing about 1 inch of water to a boil. Place the steamer basket with the cut broccoli in the pot. Cover and steam for about 3 minutes, until the broccoli is bright green, and firm-tender. Remove from heat and run the broccoli under cold water to stop the cooking process. Make sure the water drains out.

Heat a medium-sized frying pan over medium heat. Add the oil, broth, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Heat for about 1 minute, until the sauce is very fragrant and bubbling. Add the steamed broccoli and toss with the sauce, cooking briefly until the broccoli is heated through. Immediately place in a serving dish and sprinkle with Reggiano Parmesan cheese.
