Broccoli with Garlic, Pine Nuts, and Asiago Cheese
I am always trying new ways to make broccoli in hopes that my kids will finally enjoy eating it. I made this broccoli with garlic, pine nuts, and asiago cheese recipe to pair with some crispy chicken parmesan, spaghetti with mizithra & browned butter, and some crusty bread I was serving for dinner. My daughter didn’t care for the cheese, my son thought it was pretty good, and my husband and I thought this easy broccoli side dish was delicious and paired nicely with the rest of the meal.

How to Make Broccoli with Garlic, Pine Nuts, and Asiago Cheese:
