    Method: 

    Combine zest, Parmigiano Reggiano, pine nuts and pepper in a small bowl. Bring a large pot half full of generously salted water to a boil. Add broccoli and cook just until florets are done to your liking, 2 to 8 minutes; drain and transfer to a platter. Sprinkle with Parmigiano Reggiano mixture and drizzle with oil. Serve warm or room temperature.
