Steamed Broccoli Italian Style image

My Italian mother made broccoli at least 2 times a week, every week -- and now I do the same for my DH and 3 sons: they devour mountains of this broccoli. It's so good for you!

I made this recipe last night and it was a hit! My family loved it. The broccoli was tender and flavorful, and the sauce was creamy and cheesy. I will definitely be making this again.
