Preheat your oven to 400°F. On a large sheet pan, combine 1 lb broccoli florets and 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved. This sets the stage for your delicious Sheet Pan Broccoli Tortellini Bake | Easy One-Pan Dinner.

Spread the tortellini and vegetable mixture in a single layer on the sheet pan. Bake for 15 minutes, allowing the vegetables to tenderize and the tortellini to begin cooking. This initial bake is key for the Sheet Pan Broccoli Tortellini Bake | Easy One-Pan Dinner.

Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Pour 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce evenly over the tortellini and vegetables. Gently stir to combine, ensuring everything is coated in the tangy sauce.

Evenly sprinkle 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese over the entire sheet pan mixture. This cheesy layer will become golden and gooey.
