Ingredients

1 bunch broccolini
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 lemon wedge
1 pinch red pepper flakes
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Blanch the broccolini in a large skillet with approximately 2 inches of boiling water until it turns bright green, about 1 to 2 minutes. Then, drain the water.
Heat olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until it turns golden brown and releases its fragrant aroma, approximately 1 to 2 minutes. Introduce the broccolini, then continue to cook and stir until it is thoroughly heated, for about 2 to 3 minutes.
Finish by squeezing fresh lemon juice over the broccolini and seasoning with a pinch of red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to your liking.
