Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups broccoli florets- stems cut off (i prefer fresh )
1/2 small white onion- sliced into thin rainbows
4 cloves garlic- crushed and minced
3 tbsp fresh basil- about 4-5 leaves rolled up and cut into ribbons (try to use fresh, tastes much better!)
1 tbsp red crushed pepper (or to taste if you can''tsp handle a little heat!)
1 tsp salt
coarse black pepper- 5 grinds
4-5 tbsp parmigiana cheese- try to use a good brand
drizzle of balsamic glaze- i used store bought, but its easy to make at home too
pam- olive oil flavored
2 tbsp olive oil
1 large bowl of cold water (for boiling )
1 large bowl of cold water with ice (for blanching)

Directions:

1. Bring a large bowl of cold water to a boil, sprinkle with salt and add the broccoli. After about 3-4 minutes (or until broccoli is slightly tender) remove from hot water and place into the bowl of ice water. Set aside.
