Cheesy Broccoli Tortellini |
Sometimes you just need a VERY quick and easy dinner! Sure, you can order "take- out" or take a previously prepared dinner out of your freezer to reheat in your microwave. Another option is to prepare Broccoli Tortellini or Broccoli Tortelloni. For that reason I always try to keep a package of fresh cheese filled tortellini in our fridge. In our freezer a package of frozen broccoli florets can be found quickly. Shredded cheese is in the fridge, too. These are the main 3 ingredients to prepare this dinner.
The directions are very easy.
