TORTELLINI WITH CREAMY PUMPKIN SAUCE
I saw Rachael Ray make something very similar to this, but I thought it was a little labor intensive and heavy looking. However, the idea of the flavors intrigued me, so I played around and came up with this version. It is so delicious and creamy and the entire family just loved it.

Steps:
- Place a large pot of salted water over high heat to boil. When water is boiling, drop tortellini and cook according to package directions. Drain cooked tortellini and reserve.
- Melt the butter, add the onion and garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Sauté until the onions soften.
- Stir in flour and cook about a minute. Whisk in the milk and cook until the liquid comes up to a bubble and the sauce thickens, 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the nutmeg and pumpkin. Season with salt and pepper and simmer until thickened, about 1 minute. I found I needed quite a bit of salt.
- Toss the tortellini with the pumpkin sauce and transfer to a casserole dish. Cover with cheese and broil until cheese is browned.
