                    Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                3 tablespoon(s) butter  |  
                                                2 pound(s) broccoli stalks removed, cut into small florets  |  
                                                4 clove(s) garlic thinly sliced  |  
                                                1 1/2 pound(s) frozen cheese tortellini  |  
                                                3 plum tomatoes seeded & diced  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Heat 1 T. butter in a large skillet over medium. Add broccoli and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until broccoli is crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes (if skillet gets too dry, add a little water). 2. Cook tortellini in boiling water until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/2 c. pasta water; return tortellini to pot. Add broccoli mixture, tomatoes, and remaining 2 T. butter; season with salt and pepper, and toss enough reserved pasta water to create a sauce that lightly coats tortellini. Serve immediately.                              |
