Italian Broccoli image

I have been making this dish for years. It is a great way to dress up broccoli, a colorful side dish with any roasted meats. I often steam the broccoli ahead of time, cool it quickly in cold water, drain and then, when ready to serve, warm it in the hot garlic oil.

I followed the recipe exactly and the broccoli turned out perfect. The sauce was a little too salty for my taste, but that's just a personal preference. Overall, a great recipe!

I've made this recipe a few times and it's always a hit. The broccoli is always tender and the sauce is flavorful. I like to add a little bit of Parmesan cheese at the end.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some salt and pepper to the sauce and it helped a lot.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great. The broccoli is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is light and lemony. I like to add a little bit of red pepper flakes for a bit of spice.
