Broccoli with Brown Butter, Paremsan and Walnuts

OMG this recipe was not only easy, but so darn good. Make this side dish. 

I'm not kidding, this recipe really takes broccoli to a nice new level.

Broccoli with Brown Butter, Parmesan and Walnuts
Recipe from Cooking for Two - 2011
Serves 2

2 T unsalted butter
2 T walnuts, coarsely chopped
1/2 bunch broccoli florets, cut into bit size pieces, stalks trimmed
Salt and pepper
2 T grated Parmesan cheese

Microwave butter in a microwave-safe bowl until melted, about 1 minute. Add nuts and continue to microwave until butter is well browned and walnuts are toasted, 2 to 3 minutes longer.

Meanwhile, bring 2 quarts water to boil in large saucepan.  Add broccoli and 2 tsp salt and cook until just tender, about 2 minutes.  Drain broccoli, pat dry with paper towels and transfer to bowl. Toss broccoli with butter-nut mixture and parmesan and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve.
