Instructions

Step 1
In a medium bowl, toss broccoli with olive oil, minced garlic, and 3/4 teaspoon of salt.

Step 2
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together alfredo sauce, water, 3/4 teaspoon salt, pepper, and half the mozzarella cheese.

Step 3
Place tortellini and sauce in the Zone 1 basket (without crisper plate installed). Evenly sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and panko breadcrumbs, then insert basket in unit. Install a crisper plate in the Zone 2 basket, then place broccoli in the basket and insert basket into unit.

Step 4
Select Zone 1, select BAKE, set temperature to 350°F, and set time to 45 minutes. Select Zone 2, select ROAST, set temperature to 400°F, and set time to 20 minutes. Select SMART FINISH. Press center of dial to begin cooking.

Step 5
When Zone 2 time reaches 10 minutes, press center of dial to pause cooking. Remove basket from unit and gently toss broccoli. Reinsert basket and press center of dial to resume cooking.

Step 6
When Zone 1 time reaches 0, check tortellini for doneness; they should be cooked al dente. Gently transfer to a serving dish, keeping most of the breadcrumbs and cheese on top. Garnish with torn basil leaves.

Step 7
When Zone 2 times reaches 0, transfer broccoli to a bowl and serve with tortellini.
