It was super delicious, so easy to do, and when I checked the nutrition value, I was convinced that it had to be shared with the world.

Those delicious broccoli cheesy balls happen to be greatly complemented with a garlic sauce that many people love. Of course, it wouldn’t be me if I didn’t make a healthy, homemade version of it.

Here is the way to execute this recipe. I hope you enjoy it and will be glad to know what you think of it.
