Number Of Ingredients 14

cooking spray
24 ounces frozen cheese tortellini
1 bunch asparagus, diced
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups vegetable stock
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
½ cup heavy whipping cream

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound fresh spinach, stemmed and chopped
1 (15 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
2 cups shredded Italian cheese blend

Steps:

  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler on high heat. Lightly spray a large casserole pan with cooking spray.

  • Cook under the broiler until cheese is melted and browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Choose Fresh Vegetables: Use fresh, seasonal vegetables for the best flavor and texture. Farmers markets are a great place to find fresh produce.
  • Cook the Vegetables Al Dente: Don't overcook the vegetables, as they should still have a slight crunch to them.
  • Use a Good Quality Broth: The broth is the base of the sauce, so use a good quality broth that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Add Cheese and Herbs at the End: Stir in the cheese and herbs at the end of cooking to prevent them from overcooking and losing their flavor.
  • Serve Immediately: Tortellini is best served immediately after it is cooked. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Tortellini with Garden Vegetables is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The combination of fresh vegetables, flavorful sauce, and tender tortellini is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try!
