  • 4 cups broccoli florets (divided)
  • ¼ small yellow onion (diced)
  • 1 clove of garlic (minced)
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning
  • ¼ tsp paprika
  • Pinch of crushed red pepper (to taste)

  • ½ cup + 2 tbsp broth (vegetable or chicken)
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1½ tbsp fresh basil (chopped, divided)
  • 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese (grated, plus more for garnish)

  4. Add the remaining tablespoon of sun-dried tomato oil to the same large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, for 3 minutes, until softened.
  6. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, Italian seasonings, paprika, and crushed red pepper flakes, and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds.
  7. Add the broth, heavy cream, 2 tablespoons of parmesan, and 1 tablespoon of chopped basil. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste; mix well.
  8. Add the broccoli back to the large skillet, toss to coat evenly, reduce the heat to medium, and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the broccoli is crisp-tender and the sauce has thickened.
  9. Pour into a serving bowl and serve with the remaining chopped basil and freshly grated parmesan on top. Enjoy.
