Parmesan Broccoli

I love how quick broccoli cooks. Seriously, from start to finish is less than ten minutes. And broccoli gives you SO MUCH of your daily essential vitamins and nutrients, that I don't know why I didn't start cooking with broccoli more than I use to.  Here's what you need:

1 bunch of broccoli
2 tsp salt
Olive oil for drizzling
Parmesan cheese for garnish



Remove stem, and slice the florets into smaller pieces.  

Pour into a pot of rapidly boiling water for 3-4 minutes.  Add salt at the same time of broccoli (It's a lot of salt, but adding it now allows the broccoli to absorb the salt as it becomes soft). Check for doneness with knife or fork. 

Drain water. Drizzle oil and sprinkle with cheese, stir.  Serve warm. Yum!
