*Broccolini is a variant of broccoli, sometimes called Italian Broccoli. It can be found in the fresh produce section of many larger grocery stores. Broccoli or Broccoli Rabe may be substituted with the same results. This recipe is from the Food Network program "30 Minute Meals" with Rachel Ray. I ran it through the recipe builder on WW.com, and the points values are accurate. Colette
