1Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat.
2Add the broccoli to the pot, and return to a boil, and cook for 6-8 minutes.
3Drain in a colander, then transfer to a large bowl and set aside.
4Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic just starts to brown around the edges, 2 to 3 minutes.
5Pour the mixture over the broccoli and stir in the lemon zest and salt; toss well. Serve warm or at room temperature.
