1
Prepare the Broccolini
Wash the broccolini under cold water to remove any dirt. Trim off the tough ends of the stems.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
