This side dish is so rich and creamy, that I save it for special occasions. It’s a great way to dress up broccoli and goes well with just about any main dish–chicken, turkey, pork or fish. I created this recipe by looking at many versions of similar dishes and combining all the best ingredients. Hope you like it!
