Ingredients
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 20 oz. refrigerated Tortellini *see notes
Alfredo Sauce
- 6 Tablespoons butter high quality
- 1 Tablespoon garlic minced
- 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 cups half and half
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated and at room temperature
- ½ cup Romano cheese grated and at room temperature
- salt and black pepper to taste
- fresh parsley to garnish
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for one minute.
- Whisk in the flour. Gradually add the half and half, whisking constantly.
- Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low.
- Slowly sprinkle in the cheeses, continuing to whisk. It will continue to thicken as it simmers.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the broccoli. Cook for 2 minutes.
- Add the tortellini and cook for 4 minutes. (Confirm cooking time on package.)
- Drain the tortellini and broccoli and add to the Alfredo sauce, stir to combine.
- Garnish with parsley and serve!
Notes
- *I like to use Rana refrigerated 5-cheese Tortellini (any alternative filling option is also fine!) It only takes 4 minutes to cook and these instructions are based on that timeframe. If an alternative brand is used, refer to the package for cooking time. The broccoli takes 5-6 minutes to boil.
- Any kind of pasta may be used as an alternative to Tortellini.
- Alfredo sauce isn’t meant to be too thick, but if you prefer for it to thicken more, let it continue to simmer and reduce slightly prior to adding the tortellini.
