More tortellini please! 

Today we’re making broccoli pesto tortellini and oh boy, I hope you love it. This broccoli pesto is made with arugula and it’s so bright and delicious! Add in some shaved parmesan, tomatoes and a hint of lemon and this tastes like sunshine is a bowl. 

It’s so filling and pretty too! 

Plus, I’m always looking for new summer side dish ideas. 

If you have a copy of Everyday Dinners, then you might recognize this pesto recipe! It’s the broccoli pesto from that book and it’s one of our favorites. 

You already know that we are a bunch of broccoli freaks, so making it into pesto is just natural. 

In the book, I share a recipe with roasted broccoli. It is fab and roasted broccoli will forever be in my top favorites list. 

But this one uses blanched broccoli – which is embarrassingly easy – allowing it to be bright green and beautiful! There’s also no bitterness, which can sometimes happen from broccoli that has been a little over-roasted.

I am very familiar with this because I like to roast the heck out of my vegetables. It’s my biggest downfall! Char them all please. 

Oh, and the other thing. 

We also love cheese tortellini. Who doesn’t?! It cooks in minutes, tastes amazing and is so satisfying. I love that it can work as a side or a main dish. 

The good news is that you can use any variety of tortellini here, making it super customizable to your dinner. (more…)
