Tuscan-Style Roasted Broccoli

Broccoli can often be shoved to the side of a dinner plate, especially if it's competing with a foil-wrapped baked potato and a big hunk of meat. But in Italy, they treat broccoli more as the star of the show.

This dish is served with enough extra goodies that it can stand strong as a main course: anchovies, Gorgonzola cheese, black olives, toasted pine nuts and tomatoes. It's also a quick dish to prepare. Since we have blanched the broccoli ahead of time, it will only take 2-3 minutes under the broiler for them to slightly caramelize.
