Mouthwatering Broccoli Marinara Delight

This is a great quick version of an Italian traditional side dish in our family all the way from Italy. You can use fresh tomatoes and basil. However, as a mother of four, I opt for the quick method as I’m sure other parents of small ones can appreciate. The kids really love this dish too. Buon Appetito!
