I created this recipe with some Tortellini, Prosciutto and Broccoli I had in the freezer and boy did my kids ever love it! I served with some leftover herb wedges. What I loved most, is this was ready in no time and was very satisfying. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh broccoli: Fresh broccoli has a more vibrant color and better flavor than frozen broccoli. If you only have frozen broccoli, be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Cook the broccoli properly: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender-crisp. Overcooked broccoli will be mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a good quality Alfredo sauce: A good quality Alfredo sauce will make all the difference in this dish. Look for a sauce that is made with real cream and Parmesan cheese.
  • Don't overcook the tortellini: Tortellini should be cooked according to the package directions. Overcooked tortellini will be tough and chewy.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The broccoli and tortellini will start to lose their flavor if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Broccoli and Tortellini Alfredo is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of broccoli, tortellini, and Alfredo sauce is sure to please everyone at the table.
