Broccolini With Creamy Lemon Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb Broccolini (\"baby broccoli\")
Lemon Sauce
2 ounces mascarpone cheese
2 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon snipped fresh marjoram (original recipe called for thyme)
1/2 teaspoon lemon peel, finely minced
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
salt
pepper

Preparation

Bring a large pot of salted water to boiling. Cook the broccolini until crisp-tender, approximately 5-7 minutes. (For asparagus: 3-5 minutes; pea pods: 2-4 minutes; romanesco: 7-8 minutes.).
Drain well.
To make the lemon sauce, in a small bowl combine the mascarpone cheese, sour cream, milk, marjoram, lemon peel and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Transfer the cooked broccolini to a serving platter. Spoon the lemon sauce over the vegetables. Garnish with a marjoram sprig.
Serve warm.
