Place a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Pour in the oil and add the minced garlic, sautéing until it turns golden, which should take about 1 minute. Incorporate the drained broccolini, seasoning with kosher salt to your liking and adding red pepper flakes if desired. Cook for an additional minute, or until the broccolini is warmed through.
