I don’t like to waste any food, I have found many uses for leftover odd parts of vegetables, mostly in making stock.  Although, broccoli stems are something I have never found much for, I just cook them down, serve them up with the florets, eat them first, leaving the good parts for last.  Well, the stems now will have a tasty purpose.  This recipe does take some time and planning, but wow.. gnocchi with broccoli stems instead of potatoes with a lemon cream sauce.
