Are you looking for a quick and delicious meal during the week. This is the recipe for you, and it only takes about 20 minutes to make. Ingredients: 1 bag of pumpkin or squash tortellini 3/4 stick of butter 4-5 medium size cloves of garlic 9 leaves of fresh sage salt to taste Directions: In a large pot, bring cold water to a boil. Add 1 tbsp of sea salt to the boiling water. Boil the tortellini for 5-6 minutes. The tortellini will float to the top. Meanwhile, in a small food processor, blend the garlic and fresh sage. Melt the butter in a small pot on low, add the garlic and sage mixture. Stir frequently so the garlic doesn't burn. Take 1/2 cup of water from the pot with the tortellini and add it to the butter/sage pot. Stir well, and add a little bit of salt to taste (I used very little- 1/2 tsp). Scoop out the cooked tortellini and add it to the sauce. Stir well. Voila!
