04 Step

Gently nestle the broccoli florets on top of the simmering tomato sauce. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
05 Step
Recipe View
Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender-crisp and has turned a vibrant green.
06 Step
Recipe View
Transfer the Broccoli Marinara to a serving dish and gently toss to coat the broccoli with the sauce. Serve immediately.
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce while it simmers.
Fresh basil is a wonderful addition! If using fresh basil, chiffonade a few leaves and sprinkle over the dish just before serving.
To prevent the broccoli from overcooking, ensure the heat is kept low during the simmering process. The broccoli should retain some of its bite.

Mar 16, 2025My kids, who normally hate broccoli, devoured this! The balsamic in the tomatoes really makes a difference.

Oct 11, 2024I've made this several times now and it's always a hit. I like to add some sausage for extra protein.
