Festive Fall Tortellini Toss
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. Cook: 10 min.
YIELD: 12 servings (2/3 cup each).
Fall is my favorite season and I love the foods of autumn, such as mushrooms, squash, apples and walnuts. I combined these all with pasta to make a delicious side dish perfect for sharing at a potluck; the recipe can easily be doubled and can be served either warm or at room temperature. —Roxanne Chan, Albany, California
