- 1/3 cup olive oil

How to Make
-
Step 1: Put olive oil in pan and heat; add the minced garlic and cook slightly (do not brown the garlic).
-
Step 2: Add the frozen broccoli and cook about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, adding a little water now and then to make steam so that the broccoli cooks.
-
Step 3: If you are adding chicken, add it now along with the butter, salt, pepper, and cooked pasta.

Step 4: Serve with parmesan cheese.
