1
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2
On a large baking sheet, arrange broccoli pieces and drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, and chopped garlic. Toss to coat and season with salt and black pepper.
3
Roast the broccoli in the oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring once, until crisp and slightly charred. Remove from oven.
4
While the broccoli is roasting, cook the cheese tortellini according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain.
5
In the same pot used for the tortellini, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add minced shallot, minced garlic, crushed red pepper, and spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts, about 3 minutes.
6
Stir in the lemon zest and reduce the heat to low. Add the cooked tortellini, roasted broccoli, reserved pasta water, and lemon juice to the pot.
7
Cook on low heat for about 2 minutes, until the tortellini is warmed through.
8
Sprinkle the dish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and black pepper before serving warm.
