Baked broccoli with sauce
Description
Homemade baked goods for tea. I personally like broccoli in any form—even without sauces or other additions, it's very healthy. But most people aren't particularly fond of it, so cooks have come up with some clever tricks. One such trick is this recipe for baked broccoli, which can be served hot as a main dish or cold as a casserole.
