Spicy Lemon Sautéed Broccolini

Broccoli is a well liked vegetable in our home…especially by my youngest son. But I decided to change things up a little with this Spicy Lemon Sauteed Broccolini instead of our regular broccoli.

Why? Because the broccolini is cuter, of course.

I just like the long, thin stalks on them for some reason.

I normally lightly steam our broccoli when I make it and have always enjoyed a squeeze of fresh lemon over it, but today I decided to change it up a little.

I sauteed the broccolini for just a few minutes, added lemon juice as usual but this time sprinkled in some red pepper flakes to make it spicy.

So if you like the tangy flavor of lemon, a little spicy kick and broccolini (or broccoli), you will love this.

And, it was ready in only a matter of minutes.
