Steamed Broccoli with Garlic Sauce

Bring a wholesome, flavorful classic to your next event with Pellicano’s Signature Steamed Broccoli in Garlic Sauce. This dish reflects the core Pellicano's philosophy—taking fresh, simple vegetables and elevating them with rich, aromatic seasonings and time-tested Italian techniques. Designed to serve 10-12 people, this catering favorite offers a vibrant, savory flavor profile that seamlessly complements any main course.

The star of the dish is our fresh broccoli florets, steamed to a tender-crisp perfection that retains both brilliant natural color and essential nutrients. The florets are then tossed in a house-crafted garlic sauce featuring a smooth vegetable margarine base infused with pungent minced garlic and finely aged Italian Romano cheese. A hint of fresh parsley and a dash of citric acid bring a bright, balanced finish that cuts through the richness of the cheese and butter.

To ensure every bite is packed with savory goodness, we season the dish with just the right amount of salt to enhance the natural flavors of the vegetables and garlic. The velvety garlic sauce clings to every floret, creating a comforting, flavorful side that turns standard greens into a crowd favorite. This is restaurant-quality catering that reflects the craftsmanship Paul Pellicano has championed for years.

Quality and Preparation: Every tray of Steamed Broccoli in Garlic Sauce is made fresh to order in our kitchen. We carefully monitor the steaming process so the broccoli maintains its signature snap and bright green presentation, avoiding the soggy texture typical of standard catering trays. Arriving hot and ready to serve, this dish adds a fresh, appetizing touch to dinner.

Catering Versatility: This classic Italian-style side pairs effortlessly with a variety of Pellicano’s main offerings:

• Protein Pairings: Complements chicken cutlets, Italian sausage, or beef tenderloin.

• Pasta Companion: Pairs perfectly alongside a hearty tray of baked ziti or lasagna.

• Special Occasions: An ideal addition to corporate luncheons, holiday feasts, or family Sunday dinners seeking a delicious, savory green side.
