Recipe: Garlic Butter Broccoli

1 Bunch Broccoli (1 pound), cut into florets (about 6 cups)
2 T. Butter
1-2 Garlic Cloves, minced or pressed
Salt (as directed)
Freshly Ground Black Pepper (to taste)

Cook the broccoli in lightly salted boiling water until crisp-tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain. Place butter and garlic into the saucepan and cook until the garlic is softened but not browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Place drained broccoli in the saucepan and toss with the salt plus a few grinds of pepper.
