In a small or medium skillet, heat Roasted Garlic Olive Oil. Add Pine Nuts, Sun dried tomatoes, Roasted Garlic Cloves, Roasted cremini mushrooms, and Charred Broccolini to pan. Toss everything in the hot garlic oil and allow pan to get sizzling hot.
Once pan is piping hot, deglaze with 2 oz of white wine and appx 1 oz of lemon juice. Toss veggies again and let sauce lightly reduce.
