I'm not a big fan of broccoli, but this dish changed my mind. The broccoli was roasted to perfection and had a slightly sweet flavor.

I made this last night and it was a hit with my family. The tortellini was cooked perfectly and the broccoli was still slightly crunchy. The sauce was creamy and flavorful.
