Method

Preparation

1
Prepare the Broccoli
Wash and cut the broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

Cooking

2
Sauté the Garlic
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.
3
Cook the Broccoli
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender but still vibrant green.
4
Season
Sprinkle in the crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
5
Add Parmesan Cheese
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until well distributed. Allow the residual heat to melt the cheese slightly.
