Start by washing the broccoli florets thoroughly under cold water.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the broccoli for about 3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender.

Carefully drain the broccoli in a colander and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.

In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Add the broccoli to the skillet and sauté for about 2-3 minutes.

In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Pour the cheese sauce over the sautéed broccoli in the skillet. Stir well.

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top and cover the skillet. Cook for another 2 minutes until the cheese melts.
