Garlicky Broccolini

• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

Kosher salt

2 pounds Broccolini (about 4 bunches)

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper

Directions

Gather the ingredients.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Broccolini and cook until bright green and barely crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water.

In a very large skillet, heat the olive oil with the garlic and crushed red pepper and cook over moderate heat until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Increase the heat to high, add the Broccolini, and toss to coat with the oil. Add the reserved cooking water and toss occasionally, until the Broccolini is crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and transfer to a platter. Serve warm or at room temperature.
