Tortellini with Broccoli Pesto

Ingredients

1 

bunch broccoli (about 1 pound), trimmed and cut into florets

kosher salt and black pepper

1 

cup 

fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

1/4 

cup 

olive oil

2 

tablespoons 

toasted pine nuts

1 

ounce 

Parmesan, grated (about 1/4 cup), plus more for serving

1 

pound 

fresh or frozen cheese tortellini

Directions

1. Cook the broccoli in a large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool slightly; reserve the water for cooking the tortellini.
2. Pulse the broccoli, parsley, oil, pine nuts, Parmesan, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper in a food processor until finely chopped, 15 to 20 seconds.
3. Cook the tortellini according to the package directions, reserving ¾ cup of the cooking water. Drain and return the tortellini to the pot.
4. Add the broccoli pesto and ¼ cup of the reserved cooking water and toss to combine. (Add more cooking water as needed to loosen the sauce.)
5. Serve sprinkled with more Parmesan.
