Broccoli with Garlic Butter and Cashews

A new recipe a neighbor gave us. What a hit with my family. Just the right mixture of garlic and cashews with our favorite side dish, broccoli. And, so very easy to make!! If in a pinch, you could probably use frozen broccoli too, but I haven't tried

Broccoli with Garlic Butter and Cashews

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 pounds fresh broccoli, cut into bite size pieces
