Perfect Broccoli

This recipe came from Ashley and it has forever changed the way I cook broccoli. It cooks it perfectly: crisp, not soggy, yet cooked perfectly.

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 small head of broccoli cut into bite-size chunks
1/4 teaspoon sea salt (I use regular kosher salt)
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
3 garlic cloves thinly sliced
1/4 cup water

Heat oil in pan on medium high. Add brocolli, salt, garlic and red pepper flakes. Saute 2 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water. Cover, reduce heat to low and cook for 2 minutes or until brocolli is crisp-tender.
