Notes
*If using a head of broccoli, 1 large head will be sufficient. Remove the florets from the stalk and cut into bite-sized pieces and then peel the stem and cut into bite sized pieces.
**If you’d prefer to cook the broccoli in a different way, you absolutely can. I routinely make steamed broccoli and then stir it with the lemon butter sauce. It’s perfect!
