BROCCOLI TOASTS WITH MELTY PROVOLONE
A beautifully assembled toast can make a lovely light dinner. In this version, blanched broccoli is cooked in olive oil that's been infused with garlic and anchovies (always optional) until it's very tender, then it's piled onto toasted bread. Grated extra-sharp provolone, which is a nice complement to the mildly sweet broccoli, is sprinkled on top, then the toasts are broiled until the cheese is melted and golden brown. You can use cauliflower, broccoli rabe or thickly sliced sweet peppers in place of the broccoli, but be sure to cook your vegetables until they are velvety soft - it provides a nice contrast to the crunchy bread. While these toasts work well on their own, they make an equally good accompaniment to roast chicken or grilled fish.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the broccoli for 2 to 3 minutes. Drain broccoli and pat dry.
- Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch tall-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the anchovies, if using, the garlic and red-pepper flakes and cook until the anchovies have dissolved and the garlic is fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the broccoli and cook, stirring occasionally until the broccoli is cooked down and very tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add a tablespoon or two of water, if needed, to help it along. Stir in lemon zest. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if needed.
- While the broccoli cooks, heat the broiler. Lay the bread on a large sheet pan and toast until golden, about 1 to 3 minutes a side depending on your oven. (Check often to make sure they don't burn.) Remove from oven and divide the broccoli mixture between the toasts. Scatter each toast with the grated provolone, return to oven and broil until the cheese melts and turns golden in spots, 1 to 3 minutes more. (Again, check often to make sure they don't burn.) Remove from oven and serve slices whole or cut in half.
PROVOLONE AND BROCCOLI ALFREDO
This recipe is incredibly easy to prepare, rich and delicious! I only make this once in a while because it's a little high in fat and calories, but well worth it. :) I made this recipe using Provolone cheese with the intention of creating a more upscale tasting alfredo. You can serve this over fettucine, or I like to make this recipe with penne and mix it in with the sauce just before serving. A little piece of trivia for you: Alfredo sauce was invented in Rome in the 1920s by restaurant owner Alfrsdo diLello.

Steps:
- Begin by cooking the pasta according to package directions (please note, if you plan on adding penne to the sauce, you might want to cook the penne just under the suggested cooking time, as it will continue to cook and absorbe some of the sauce once added).
- In a non-stick pan sauté the broccoli in a little butter until the broccoli is tender crisp.
- In a medium non-stick saucepan, over a low flame melt butter and stir in flour.
- Add cream and milk, turn up the heat and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil and thickens slightly.
- Stir in Parmesan, Provolone, Mrs Dash Tomato, Basil& Garlic Seasonings and stir until cheese is melted and the sauce is throughly heated and creamy smooth.
- Now, you can do one of two things.
- You can add the broccoli to the sauce, toss to coat and serve over hot cooked penne or you can add the broccoli and the penne to the sauce, toss to coat (my choice) then serve while still steaming.
- Either way, enjoy your meal!

QUICK FETTUCCINE AND BROCCOLI ALFREDO
This is a go-to dinner in my house. You can have the entire family eating within 30 minutes, and it's fun to get the kids involved in the cooking. You can switch out the pasta for another long cut like linguine, bucatini or angel hair. And you can sub cauliflower florets or baby carrots for broccoli; just be sure to adjust the steaming time.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add fettuccine and cook according to package directions until al dente, 8 to 11 minutes. While the pasta cooks, place a steamer basket over the pot and place the broccoli in the basket. Cover and steam until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a large saucepan or skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Grate the half clove of garlic with a rasp grater into the butter and cook, stirring, about 1 minute. Stir in the cream, milk, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer. Stir in the Romano and Parmesan, stirring until melted; the sauce will thicken. Turn off the heat and set aside until the pasta is done.
- Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of cooking liquid. Add the drained pasta to the cream sauce and stir until well coated. If the sauce seems too thick, stir in some of the reserved pasta cooking liquid to thin it until it coats the pasta well. Fold in the broccoli. Garnish with parsley and more Parmesan.
