Tortellini with Pumpkin Alfredo Sauce

by Judy

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Today’s recipe for Tortellini with Pumpkin Alfredo Sauce is a savory pumpkin recipe that’s a cinch to make!

It’s that time of year again.  The time when just about every recipe has pumpkin in it!  If you’re a pumpkin lover, I’m guessing you love this time of year.  I don’t mind pumpkin, I just don’t seem to go gaga over it like many people do. However, I thought I better jump on the bandwagon and try out a pumpkin recipe at least once this fall.  The flavor of this dish is subtle and not pumpkin heavy, which I liked.

If you get tired of all the sweet pumpkin recipes this fall, I encourage you to give your pumpkin a savory spin and try this Tortellini with Pumpkin Alfredo Sauce recipe.  It’s really delicious!
