This was a nice broccoli dish. I used fresh broccoli and loved the simplicity and the nice lemon flavor. Thanks Munchkin Mama for a nice keeper. Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup tag.

So simple and so good!! With work and active teens I depend on quick and easy recipes many nights a week so that we stay away from drive-ins. This was a real family pleaser - especially for my DD - age 13 - as she becomes more competent in the kitchen and can make this herself with glowing and healthy results! The lemon really perked up the frozen broccoli and could be used for other veggies as well. This is a keeper! Thanks Munchkin Mama.

Awesome!!! I used fresh broccoli and I added a little italian seasoning to the sauce, and it was PERFECT! It was light, but full of flavor - I can see this being a great compliment to many meals - thanks for the recipe - we'll definitely be using this one again!
