Broccoli with pesto
This Halloween, dress up your broccoli! Broccoli is a polarizing vegetable- you either love it, or hate it. I am the former. I could eat the stuff daily.But I also crave variety and spice in my food. To keep your broccoli (and other veggies interesting), try adding a wee bit of pesto and shredded Parmesan cheese. This combo would go great on sauteed spinach, Brussels sprouts or green beans.Ingredients:2 cups raw or frozen broccoli1 Tbsp. jarred/prepared pesto1 Tbsp. shredded Parmesan cheeseDirections:Steam broccoli in 1 Tbsp. water in the microwave for ~3 1/2 minutes.Drain water and add pesto and toss. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve.Makes 4 (1/2 cup) servings.
