Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broccolini

    Wash the broccolini under cold water to remove any dirt. Trim off the tough ends of the stems.

  2. 2

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Blanch the Broccolini

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add salt. Add the broccolini and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender. Remove and drain.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic is golden and fragrant.

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the blanched broccolini to the skillet. Toss to coat the broccolini with the garlic oil mixture. Season with salt and black pepper.

  4. 6

    Finish with Parmesan

    Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and lemon juice. Mix until the cheese is melted and evenly distributed.

  5. 7

    Optional Toasting Nuts

    If using, toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Add to the dish before serving.
