Introduction
I always ordered this dish at our favorite Italian restaurant and it came swimming in oil. This modified version ramps up the broccoli and provides a healthy meal around 300 calories. The pine nuts give it a delicious, nutty flavor. I always ordered this dish at our favorite Italian restaurant and it came swimming in oil.
