Broccoli With Lemon Sauce (Another Version) image

There are other similar recipes for this lemony broccoli dish, but this is enough different that I thought I'd go ahead and post it. Found in Taste of Home Magazine and as I love lemon and broccoli thought I'd post it for safe keeping. It states that it would also be good over cauliflower. Update: Finally got around to making this and felt it is very good with a nice punch of lemon. I did steam the broccoli instead of boiling and the sauce was so easy.
