Italian Broccoli Recipe

Italian Broccoli RecipePhoto by: Taste of Home Italian Broccoli Recipe Rating 3

I have been making this dish for years. It is a great way to dress up broccoli, a colorful side dish with any roasted meats. I often steam the broccoli ahead of time, cool it quickly in cold water, drain and then, when ready to serve, warm it in the hot garlic oil.
