Broccolini with Pine Nuts and Golden Garlic Slivers

Broccolini with Pine Nuts and Golden Garlic Slivers
Long, graceful stalks of broccolini offer an elegant alternative to the more expected vegetables.
Directions
- Bring a large Anolon Advanced Pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccolini, cover, return to a boil and cook 3 minutes. Drain and rinse the broccolini under cold water to stop the cooking process; drain again.
- Heat a large nonstick Anolon Advanced Skillet over medium heat. Add the pine nuts and cook, shaking pan often, until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes; transfer to a bowl. Return skillet to the heat and add 3 tablespoons oil and half the garlic. Cook the garlic, stirring occasionally, until just starting to brown slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Add half of the broccolini and half of the pine nuts; cook, tossing, until hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; transfer to a bowl and repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve hot.
