The tangy lemon garlic parmesan sauce is packed with flavor and gives this cozy tortellini dinner a refreshing bite. You only need about 30 minutes to get this delicious meal on the table.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (18 oz) bag fresh cheese tortellini
- 6-8 cups small broccoli florets
Lemon Parmesan Sauce
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (like you would put on pizza)
- 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
- 2 teaspoons tamari, or soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Heat oven to 425 degrees F and lay out a large sheet pan. Fill a large pot with water, place the lid on and bring to a boil. Once water is boiling, add in the fresh tortellini, broccoli florets and a big pinch of salt. Stir together, wait for water to come back up to a boil. Once boiling, cook for just about 30 seconds longer. You don’t want either to be overcooked.
- Drain the broccoli and tortellini and let sit for a few minutes, until the steam has mostly evaporated. Make the sauce. To a medium sized bowl, add all of the sauce ingredients and then whisk well, until fully combined. Dump the tortellini and broccoli onto the large sheet pan and then pour over the lemon parmesan sauce. Use a spatula, or your hands, to toss everything together until tortellini and broccoli are well coated.
- Place in the pre-heated oven and bake until tortellini and broccoli are beginning to brown, 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove from the oven and top with extra parmesan cheese and fresh lemon juice, if desired. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste.
Notes
You may want to use 1/3 cup olive oil instead of 1/4 cup if you are adding beans or extra vegetables.
