I love the flavors here and broccoli is my favorite veg. However, 759 calories and 49% fat is too rich for my blood. I boiled the broccoli and mixed it with the garlic, bread crumbs, 1 1/2 tablespoons of parm cheese and no more than 1 tablespoon of olive oil (no butter). That mix went into a small baking dish (I made 2 servings) and baked @ 300 for the given time. The result was more drier but delicious and easy to live with.

This is a nice side dish. I did skip the step of cooking the broccoli in olive oil before baking in the oven, rather I steamed my broccoli in the microwave, tossed with rest of the required ingredients oiled a cookie sheet with olive oil and popped in the oven. Easy peasy, and very delicious flavor! Thank you gailanng. Made for Every Day is a Holiday Tag May 2009

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
