It's really young and tender and doesn't need a lot of sauce. I usually slice some garlic very thin and saute it up in a pan with the broccolini, salt and pepper.
For a different flavor, try adding a pinch or two of either chinese five spice, or smoked paprika. Or, to a sizzling skillet of lightly sauteed broccolini you can add a dash of balsamic vinegar or a dash of an orange balsamic glaze. Do you keep Harrisa or yuzu paste in your cupboard? A pinch mixed with some olive oil will give this veggie a great boost!
Roasting broccolini can be good - quick roasting at 400 degrees farenheit for 10-20 minutes, giving the roasting pan a little shake periodically to brown it on multiple sides, and sprinkling with a little salt as soon as you remove it from the oven is nice.

you can cook it the same ways you'd cook broccoli...

I like to blanch it and then saute it in olive oil with some red pepper flake and serve it with creamy parmesan polenta.
