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.

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

  • Eldridge Bartoletti

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

  • Jacinto Price

    This recipe is a lifesaver! I always have canned tomatoes and broccoli on hand.

  • Laron Wehner

    So quick and easy for a weeknight meal. I added a little bit of Italian seasoning and it was amazing.

  • Bessie Franey

    I used fresh tomatoes from my garden and it was incredible! Definitely worth the extra effort.
