SWEET AND CRUNCHY BROCCOLI SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Set up a bowl of ice water alongside. Add the broccoli to the pot and blanch for 1 to 2 minutes, just until bright green and crisp. With a slotted spoon, remove the broccoli to the ice water to shock. Drain well.
• Place the pancetta in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until crispy and browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels, reserving 1 tablespoon of the fat.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, use a rubber spatula to mix together the mascarpone, mayonnaise, cider vinegar and salt. Add the broccoli, pancetta, reserved fat, cranberries, walnuts and gorgonzola. Toss well to coat and combine.

CRISPY PARMESAN BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine the broccoli, garlic, 1 tablespoon oil and some salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the remaining tablespoon oil to coat the bottom of a large ovenproof skillet, preferably cast iron. Add the cheese in an even layer followed by the broccoli. Roast until the broccoli is slightly browned and the cheese is golden brown and crispy, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the ranch, sriracha, lime zest and juice in a small bowl. Remove the skillet from the oven and drizzle the sauce all over the broccoli.
