Simple Broccolini Cheesesteaks
Simple Broccolini Cheesesteaks are a savory, vegetarian sandwich that is bursting with flavor!
A couple of years ago we visited Philadelphia.
Such a great city with lots of history, culture, and savory food. And when we say savory food, we're of course talking about the Philly cheesesteak.
Thick hoagie style bread stuffed with shaved beef, peppers, and topped with cheese. We mean, what could be better?
Well, we wanted to create that nostalgia, but on the healthier side. These Simple Broccolini Cheesesteaks are packed with roasted broccolini, a rich bolognese sauce, and of course, provolone cheese. We promise you won’t miss the meat.

These Simple Broccolini Cheesesteaks are SO SIMPLE to make. We're talking about four ingredients folks! You will need:

Tips for Making Simple Broccolini Cheesesteaks:
1. Broccolini. If you’ve never heard of broccolini it’s basically a hybrid of regular broccoli and Chinese kale. Broccolini has long stems and smaller florets compared to standard broccoli. You can roast, saute, grill, etc. broccolini. It’s a savory and simple vegetable to prepare.
2. Red Sauce. This is where you can use whatever kind of marinara sauce you want. We love Rao’s sauces and so for this recipe we used their jarred bolognese.
3. Hoagie rolls. If you can find rolls that are about 8-inches long that would be great. This way you can stuff the broccolini inside to create the look of a Philly Cheesesteak.
