For dinner tonight we had Spaghetti with Bolognese Sauce, which is a meat-based sauce originating in Bologna, Italy. It is much easier to prepare than making meatballs, especially when time is a factor.
I enjoy adding broccoli to my pasta, but plain steamed broccoli didn't sound appetizing. I needed to deal with the broccoli that sat in my fridge calling for something new. I wanted variety in cooking broccoli tonight, and it had to be easy!

Roasted Broccoli Parmesan
Ingredients:
1 head of broccoli, chopped
1/4 cup bread crumbs (I used Italian Style)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons olive oil
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425°F.Chop broccoli and blanch in boiling, lightly
salted water for one minute. Drain.
Toss broccoli with olive oil, garlic, bread
crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and salt and
pepper.
Place broccoli mixture on a cookie
sheet. Make sure to sprinkle any remaining
bread crumbs/cheese/garlic mixture over the
top of the broccoli and roast in the oven for
12-15 minutes or until lightly browned.
Serve warm.

The broccoli was delicious! My husband, who rarely eats broccoli enjoyed it with his pasta! |

Sometimes you need variety, even when it comes to broccoli. Buon Appetito! |
