Ingredients

1/4 cup butter

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 small onion, minced

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 cups milk

1 cup pureed canned tomatoes or tomato sauce

1 Tbsp tomato paste

1/2 tsp EACH dried thyme, basil and oregano

1 tsp EACH salt and pepper

1 lb tortellini, fresh or frozen (if using frozen, no need to thaw or even cook [how easy is that?]; just add in step 4 and bake as directed)

1 bunch broccoli, trimmed and cut into bite-size pieces

1 1/4 cups grated Cheddar cheese

1 1/4 cup grated Mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Fontina cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Melt butter in a large saucepan. Add garlic and onion; cook gently 3 to 4 minutes until fragrant and tender.

Sprinkle with flour and whisk together; cook 3 to 4 minutes longer but don't brown.

Whisk in milk and bring to a gentle boil. Add tomatoes, tomato paste and seasonings. Simmer 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings to your preferences.

Toss cheeses together and set aside.

Cook tortellini for 3 minutes in boiling, salted water. Add broccoli and cook a further 3 minutes. Drain well.

Combine drained pasta and broccoli with sauce. Add most of cheese, reserving some for topping, and stir to combine.

Transfer to a 12-cup baking dish and sprinkle with reserved cheese.

Bake at 350F for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

Had it tonight for dinner. Added cauliflower since I was a bit short on the broccoli, and it worked out just fine. A keeper!
