Step 1

Clean and cut fresh broccoli into medium size heads (shave off the sides to the stalks and chop them small if you want to use everything).

Step 2

Heat 2-3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil in a medium frying pan over low heat.

Step 3

Crush the garlic and chop fine or in thin slices and add to the olive oil.

Step 4

Simmer the garlic for a few minutes until fragrant (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 5

Add in the broccoli pieces and cover with lid to trap any steam.

Step 6

Add a little bit of water to promote steam and let cook about 5 to 10 minutes or until the broccoli is bright green and is still firm. You don't want overcooked broccoli!

Step 7

When done remove from heat and set aside until ready to serve.

Step 8

Top with grated Italian Romano cheese for additional flavor if preferred.
