This is a simple and healthy side dish with a little kick to it. You can make it a vegetarian recipe by using low-sodium vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. Either way, using the broth with a little oil to make the garlic and red pepper infusion helps keep the fat low.

Ingredients:

• 1 large crown broccoli, about 1 pound,
  cut into uniform bite-sized pieces
  
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  
• 2 tablespoons Health Valley no salt
  added chicken or vegetable broth
  
• 2-3 cloves garlic, crushed
  
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  
• 2 tablespoons Reggiano Parmesan Cheese
  

Instructions:


1. Steam the broccoli in a medium pot by bringing about 1 inch of water to a boil. Place the steamer basket with the cut broccoli in the pot. Cover and steam for about 3 minutes, until the broccoli is bright green, and firm-tender. Remove from heat and run the broccoli under cold water to stop the cooking process. Make sure the water drains out.




2. Heat a medium-sized frying pan over medium heat. Add the oil, broth, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Heat for about 1 minute, until the sauce is very fragrant and bubbling. Add the steamed broccoli and toss with the sauce, cooking briefly until the broccoli is heated through. Immediately place in a serving dish and sprinkle with Reggiano Parmesan cheese.
