LEMON GARLIC BROCCOLINI

Steps:

• Heat a medium sauté pan or wok over medium heat.
• Rinse the broccolini under cold water and add to the heated pan or wok (you want to hear a nice sizzle). Put the lid on and allow to cook and steam for a couple of minutes, tossing once or twice so it doesn't burn.
• Take off the lid and drizzle over 1 tablespoon olive oil, place the lid back on and cook the broccolini for a couple of minutes, shaking the pan from time to time to make sure it doesn't burn, until it is bright green and crisp-tender.
• Stir the crushed garlic, lemon zest and a pinch of sea salt into the broccolini, then cover and cook for a further minute.
• Remove the lid, stir in the lemon juice and transfer to a serving plate.

Remove from oven; let sit 5 minutes; serve topped with Romano.

Return broccoli to skillet, browned-sides up. Sprinkle evenly with panko mixture. Roast until panko is golden, mozzarella is melted, and sauce is bubbling, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven; let stand 10 minutes. Serve.
