Tortellini Alfredo With Broccoli Mushroom Recipes

CREAMY BROCCOLI TORTELLINI PASTA BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Measure out all your ingredients and set aside.
• Bring a medium pot of water to a light boil. Reduce heat to medium and add your fresh tortellini. After 1 minute, add your broccoli to the pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until broccoli is bright green and al dente and pasta is tender. Drain and set aside.
• Using the same (now empty) pot, melt butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour in slowly, whisking with a metal whisk constantly for 2 minutes while it bubbles and darkens in color. This roux will thicken our sauce.
• Pour heated milk into the butter-flour mixture and whisk well. Bring to a light boil, whisking constantly for 1 minute or until the mixture has thickened.
• Remove from heat and add salt, pepper, basil, and garlic powder. Working in 2-3 batches, add half the gruyere cheese and all of the parmesan cheese, whisking in between each batch to gently melt the cheese. Add pasta and broccoli and mix to coat.
• Transfer mixture to a medium baking dish and sprinkle with remaining gruyere cheese. Top with foil and bake at 375°F on the center rack for 15 minutes.
• Uncover and top with crushed crackers. Bake an additonal 5 minutes to crisp the cracker coating and serve right away while hot and bubbly!
• Any additonal salt and pepper may be added to taste as well as an optional topping of crusehed red peper flakes for a kick!
