Preparation

Step 1

Put the broccoli on a cookie sheet. Toss with 5 T. olive oil, salt and pepper. Now add 4 garlic cloves that are peeled and sliced and toss them in too.


Roast in a 425F oven 20 to 25 minutes, until crisp-tender and the tips of some of the florets are browned.


When it’s done, take it out of the oven–and zest a lemon over the broccoli, squeeze the lemon juice over the broccoli, add 1.5 Tbs more olive oil, 3 Tbs toasted pine nuts and 1/3 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Add 2 Tbs julienned fresh basil.
