This quick broccolini dish is delicious, good for you, and full of garlicky, lemony flavor. Broccolini is more tender than broccoli and has a milder flavor. I love the mix of textures; the crunchy stems and the softer florets that soak up sauce are a great combination.

- olive oil: 2 Tbsp
- clove garlic: 1 piece (minced)
- lemon wedge: 1 piece
