Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds broccoli

2 tablespoons butter

Coarse salt and ground pepper.

1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Cut stalks from broccoli; peel, and slice 1/4 inch thick on the diagonal. Separate tops into small florets. Cook stalks in a large saucepan of boiling salted water, 2 minutes. Add florets; boil until tender and bright green, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain.

In a large skillet, melt butter. Add broccoli stalks and florets; toss until coated. Season with coarse salt and ground pepper. Sprinkle with Parmesan, and serve.
