Serving:3 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 (12 ounce) package frozen broccoli
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • salt to and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Cooking Directions

  1. Place broccoli in a microwave-safe dish and microwave on high until defrosted, 3 to 4 minutes; they should be defrosted but not cooked all the way.
  2. Add 1/4 cup Parmesan and garlic, stir, and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and stir.
  3. Serve with extra Parmesan sprinkled over top.
If I serve this to guests, I saute the garlic and broccoli on the stove and then add the Parmesan. When it's just my roommate and I, this way is even simpler and creates fewer dishes. Always a plus! It tastes great either way.
