AWESOME BROCCOLI MARINARA
This is a great quick version of an Italian traditional side dish in our family all the way from Italy. You can use fresh tomatoes and basil. However, as a mother of four, I opt for the quick method as I'm sure other parents of small ones can appreciate. The kids really love this dish too. Buon Appetito!

Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality broccoli. Look for broccoli with tight, compact florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellow or wilted florets.
- Cook the broccoli until it is tender-crisp. Overcooked broccoli will become mushy and lose its flavor. To test for doneness, insert a fork into the thickest part of the stem. It should pierce easily, but the broccoli should still have a slight crunch.
- Use a good quality marinara sauce. A homemade marinara sauce is always best, but you can also use a store-bought sauce if you are short on time. Look for a sauce that is made with fresh tomatoes and herbs.
- Season the dish to taste. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
- Serve the dish immediately. Broccoli marinara is best enjoyed hot and fresh. Serve it over pasta, rice, or your favorite side dish.
Conclusion:
Broccoli marinara is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a healthy and delicious way to get your daily dose of vegetables. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
