Ingredients

2 pounds of broccolini
1/3 cup of pine nuts
6 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
16 garlic cloves thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccolini, cover, return to a boil and cook 3 minutes. Drain and rinse the broccolini under cold water to stop the cooking process; drain again.
  2. Heat a Circulon Symmetry Chocolate Nonstick Skillet over medium heat. Add the pine nuts and cook, shaking pan often, until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes; transfer to a bowl. Return skillet to the heat and add 3 tablespoons oil and half the garlic. Cook the garlic, stirring occasionally, until just starting to brown slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Add half of the broccolini and half of the pine nuts; cook, tossing, until hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; transfer to a bowl and repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve hot.
