Creamy Tortellini Primavera

This creamy meal-in-one calls for just a few ingredients, including store-bought pasta, so it’s a snap to put together. “It's a wonderful salad when zucchini and squash are in great abundance,” notes Mary Ann Dell of Phoenixville, Pennsylvania.

    I did not really like this at all. I think the Caesar dressing gave it an odd flavor when warm.
