Eat, Read, and Be Mommy

Two of my four children are anti-lemon, one is anti-tortellini, and (currently) the fourth appears to be anti-dinner in general.  Would you care to guess who enjoyed having this Lemon Broccoli Tortellini for dinner Monday night?

Yup.  Me.  But hey, I really liked it.  It was lemony and light and flavorful and delightful, and so I regret nothing.  (Says aMachiavelli Mom.)  I left out the spinach entirely because I didn’t have any (it went into the muffins, remember?) and wasn’t going to miss it in this recipe anyway; I was also very generous with the lemon juice, because that’s how we Mather girls roll.  I do wish that I’d left the broccoli in longer, because the level of crowded on the one roll pan I used meant it took longer to roast, but I had to feed the hangry; next time I’ll just stick it in earlier.  In the meantime, if light, lemony tortellini with roasted lemon-garlic broccoli sounds appealing, make this–and invite me over to eat some.

Mmmm.
