This is a great quick version of an Italian traditional side dish in our family all the way from Italy. You can use fresh tomatoes and basil. However, as a mother of four, I opt for the quick method as I'm sure other parents of small ones can appreciate. The kids really love this dish too. Buon Appetito!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 can diced tomatoes with balsamic vinegar , 14.5 ounce
- 1 pound broccoli florets
- 2 cloves garlic , chopped
- salt and pepper to taste

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly. Pour in the tomatoes with their juices, and simmer until the liquid has reduced by about 1/2. Place the broccoli on top of the tomatoes, and season with a little salt and pepper. Cover, and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender. Do not over cook the broccoli, it should be a vibrant green. Pour into a serving dish, and toss to blend with the sauce before serving.

Deconstructed Cabbage Roll Casserole
This deconstructed cabbage roll casserole recipe came about because I love cabbage rolls but don't have the patience to put them together. So, I prefer to combine all the ingredients, casserole-style, and bake. Same taste, easier prep! That's how we roll!
Traditional Pita Breads
This is a great pita bread recipe I got from a friend who works at a great Greek restaurant here in my town. Slice pita in half and fill pockets with your favorite filling, or for dipping, cut into wedges and pan fry in a little olive oil.
