    1 cup shredded Fontina cheese or

    Recipe





    1: Put a large pot of water on to boil.

    2: Meanwhile, whisk broth and flour in a small bowl. Heat oil
    in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook,
    stirring, until just beginning to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add
    the broth mixture to the pan, bring to a boil and cook,
    stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thick enough to
    coat the back of a spoon, about 3 minutes. Remove from
    the heat and stir in cheese, tarragon (or dill or chives) and
    salt.

    3: Add vegetables and tortellini to the boiling water; return
    the water to a simmer and cook until the vegetables and
    tortellini are tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain; add to the pan
    with the sauce and stir to coat.
