3 bunches broccolini

directions
Blanch Broccolini
Fill a large pot with 4 quarts of water. Bring to a boil with 1 tablespoon of salt. Cut off and discard the tough ends of the broccolini. Blanch broccolini in the boiling water for 2 minutes. Remove broccolini from boiling water and immediately place in an ice bath. Drain.
Sauté Garlic
Heat the olive oil in a large pot. Add the garlic and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 6 minutes, until golden brown. Remove the garlic with a slotted spoon, and set aside.
Sauté Broccolini
Add broccolini to the hot olive oil. Add the red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, turning occasionally with tongs, until the stalks are tender but still al dente.
Serve
Add the reserved garlic and lemon zest and juice and serve hot.
For Kids
Leave out the red pepper flakes and the pepper (and maybe the garlic if they don't like garlic).
For Leftovers
Toss with pasta for a great dinner. Or cut up and eat in a chicken salad. Or make a great pureed soup.
Simple Substitutions
All ingredients are easy to get.
Healthier Options
Reduce the olive oil to 1 tablespoon but this is really healthy as is.
