Description
A one-pan meal with roasted broccoli, cheese tortellini, and savory chicken sausage, finished with a bubbling layer of parmesan.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 lbs fresh broccoli, cut into florets
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (or 1½ tsp garlic powder)
- 11 oz chicken sausage, sliced (or Italian, turkey, or vegetarian sausage)
- 16 oz frozen cheese tortellini
- 8 oz grated Parmesan cheese, divided
- 6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: red chili flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a sheet pan with foil or parchment paper, lightly oiled.
- Toss broccoli florets with garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper on the prepared pan and spread into a single layer.
- Roast for 10 minutes until bright green with slightly charred edges.
- Increase the oven temperature to 450°F.
- In a large bowl, combine the roasted broccoli with chicken sausage, frozen tortellini, remaining olive oil, and half the parmesan. Toss to coat.
- Spread the mixture on the sheet pan in a single layer, leaving gaps for heat circulation.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until cheese is melted and tortellini edges are golden. Optionally, broil for 1-2 minutes for extra browning.
- Remove from oven, sprinkle remaining parmesan on top, and let rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a vegetarian version, swap sausage for chickpeas or more roasted vegetables. For creamier texture, add ricotta or cream before baking.
