Burst onto the scene with an easy, breezy and wonderfully cheesy pasta supper. You’ll go full formaggio when you toss wedges of pleasantly squishy bocconcini into al dente tortellini, packed with three kinds of cheese. The sauce gets seasonal colours with broccoli florets and bright cherry tomatoes that you’ll cook to the popping point in the pan. The deal sealers are butter, veg demi-glace and a sprinkling of nutritional yeast for umami yum.

Preparation
Mise en place
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Halve the broccoli (quarter if large). Quarter the bocconcini. In a small bowl, combine the bocconcini, a drizzle of oil and S&P.
Boil the pasta & broccoli
Add the pasta to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate. Boil, stirring occasionally, 4 to 6 min., until al dente. In the final 2 min., add the broccoli. Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Start the sauce
Meanwhile, in a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the tomatoes and sauté, 1 to 3 min., until beginning to burst; season with ½ the spices and S&P. Add the garlic and sauté, 1 to 2 min., until fragrant.
Finish the sauce & combine the pasta
To the pan of tomatoes, add the pasta and broccoli, the demi-glace, nutritional yeast, remaining spices and S&P. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 min., until the pasta is heated through and combined. Add 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions); stir well. If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the reserved cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
Plate your dish
Divide the pasta between your bowls. Top with the bocconcini. Bon appétit!
