Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cups Asiago cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 cups water
Instructions
Prepare the broccoli by washing it and cutting it into bite-sized florets.
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
Add the garlic slices to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the garlic and oil.
Season with salt and black pepper, and add the water to the skillet.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the broccoli steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes tender but still slightly crisp.
Remove the lid and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, letting any excess water evaporate.
Transfer the broccoli to a serving dish and immediately sprinkle the Asiago cheese evenly over the top.
Serve warm as a side dish alongside your favorite main course.
