Ingredients

1 bunch broccoli, about 1 1/2 pounds
Salt to taste
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon finely minced garlic
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan chees

Steps:

Trim and cut the broccoli into florets. If the stems are large, trim and cut them into large bite-size pieces. There should be about 6 cups.
Put the broccoli pieces in a saucepan with water to cover and salt. Bring to a boil and simmer about 10 minutes or until tender but not mushy. Drain.
Put the broccoli in a food processor and puree it. Or, preferably, put it in a conical food mill and press it through into a saucepan.
Heat the puree gently while stirring in the butter, garlic, salt, pepper, nutmeg and cheese. When piping hot serve immediately.
