Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Cut the broccoli florets from the thick stalks, leaving an inch or two of stalk attached to the florets, discarding the rest of the stalks. Cut the larger pieces through the base of the head with a small knife, pulling the florets apart. You should have about 8 cups of florets. Place the broccoli florets on a sheet pan large enough to hold them in a single layer. Toss the garlic on the broccoli and drizzle with 5 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until crisp-tender and the tips of some of the florets are browned.
- Remove the broccoli from the oven and immediately toss with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, the lemon zest, lemon juice, pine nuts, Parmesan, and basil. Serve hot.

BROCCOLI RABE, OLIVE AND PARMESAN CALZONE
A calzone has many of the perks of pizza. Easy and crowd pleasing, it's a good vehicle for using up odds and ends in the fridge. It also has some happy benefits of its own. For one, you can get away with adding a lot more cheese. In fact, it's practically mandatory. You need to stuff enough ricotta and mozzarella into the dough so that it ripples attractively, rising as it bakes. Unlike an apple turnover, which wants to stay flat, a calzone should peak and singe at the top. (True, you could cram the dough full of vegetables and the like, but if you love cheese, calzones are the place to indulge.) Another calzone advantage is the element of surprise. Pizza gives it all up as soon as it lands on the table; serve a calzone to a group and let them anticipate the moment when they find out what's inside.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 500 degrees. Lightly oil a baking sheet.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil and 2/3 of the garlic. Cook until fragrant but not brown, about 20 seconds. Add the broccoli rabe and 3 tablespoons water. Cook over medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Reduce heat, cover, and cook until stems are tender, 2 to 3 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.
- Lightly flour a work surface, and stretch or roll the dough into a 12-inch round. Spoon ricotta on half the dough, leaving a half-inch border. Top with Parmesan, remaining garlic and mozzarella. Mound broccoli rabe over the cheese, and sprinkle with olives and pepper flakes. Brush the edges of the dough with water, and fold dough in half, over filling; pinch the edges of the dough together to seal.
- Transfer calzone to baking sheet. Brush the top with olive oil. Bake until crust is golden and firm, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.

BROCCOLI, PARMESAN AND LEMON
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Trim about 1 inch off the ends of the broccoli stalks and cut the broccoli lengthwise into spears. Arrange the broccoli on a nonstick cookie sheet, drizzle with some olive oil and season with a little bit of salt and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Tips:
- **Choose the Right Broccoli:** Opt for broccoli with compact florets for a better texture. - **Perfect Timing:** Do not overcook the broccoli; it should remain slightly crisp for maximum flavor and nutrient retention. - **Crisp and Tender:** To maintain a vibrant and crisp texture, cook the broccoli briefly over high heat. - **Cheese Matters:** Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and texture. Pre-shredded cheese does not melt as smoothly. - **Satisfying Crunch:** For an extra layer of texture, add some panko breadcrumbs. - **Garlic Goodness:** Enhance the flavor by adding minced garlic to the dish. - **Season to Perfection:** Don't forget to season the broccoli with salt and pepper to taste. - **Fresh Herbs:** Elevate the dish with a sprinkling of fresh herbs like parsley or chives. - **Serving Ideas:** Roasted Parmesan broccoli makes a fantastic side dish for a variety of proteins, including chicken, fish, and steak. - **Healthy Choice:** This dish is an excellent source of essential vitamins and minerals.Conclusion:
