I usually make this dish for birthdays or holiday dinners. It's a great main dish or side dish. Everyone—even my young granddaughters—enjoys the combination of broccoli, cheese and tortellini.—Esther McCoy, Dillonvale, Ohio.

Ingredients

  • 1 package (19 ounces) frozen cheese tortellini, cooked and drained
  • 1 package (16 ounces) frozen chopped broccoli, thawed
  • 1 jar (2 ounces) diced pimientos, drained
  • 2 tablespoons chopped onion
  • SAUCE:
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup plus 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the tortellini, broccoli, pimientos and onion; set aside. In a large saucepan, saute garlic in butter for 1 minute. Stir in the flour, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Gradually stir in milk until blended. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese until melted. Fold in broccoli mixture.
