Thanks for posting this. I keep buying brocolli because it's cheap and healthy but I've never really liked it much. This recipe sounds good. I'll try it this weekend.

Ooohh... thanks! I bought a huge Costco bag of broccoli and am bored with the steaming routine! This looks GREAT... cheese is excellent on anything!

My favorite way for broccoli is steamed with roasted almond slivers and lemon-infused olive oil.

I bet the almonds would be good in this recipe! Anyone else have good broccoli recipes? I love the stuff. Especially just lightly cooked and still crunchy!

Other broccoli recipes? How about sauteed in walnut oil, tossed with walnuts and served over pasta with a hard Italian cheese?
W started this one after we picked up the most awesome walnut oil in the Dordogne. We were riding on the "Route of the Walnut" (seriously and I did get to see the giant walnut and visit the walnut museum
) There was a boutique walnut press that was using an "old-fashioned" method for extracting the oil. The process was all manual and the walnut paste was heated with wood. Fascinating to watch and we've never been able to get walnut oil of the same flavor quality anywhere else. Unlike olive oil, you want walnut oil where the walnuts were heated.

Roasted!
Toss with olive oil, garlic and crushed red pepper flakes and roast or broil until tender. For extra badness, sprinkle with parm cheese before serving. Yum!
(Most people would also add salt -- but I don't use any)For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

Picked this Faux-Pesto up from the Carmichael nutrition book. I don't measure much of anything, so adjust as necessary:
Toss into a food processor/blender:
- Lots of steamed broccoli
- Dollop of olive oil
- Splash of stock to get the right consistency
- Tons of basil (fresh is better if you've got it!)
- Chopped garlic clove
Toss with pasta, grate some Parmesan over top, salt and pepper as desired!
-- gnat! (NOM NOM NOM)
