Creamy Pumpkin Tortellini image

My kids love the creamy, rich sauce on these tortellinis so much but they don't even know pumpkin is inside. Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best, nutty and delicious flavor. -Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho

I'm not a big fan of tortellini, so I used penne pasta instead. It worked out great!

I added some cooked chicken to this dish and it was delicious! It's a great way to use up leftover chicken.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the Parmesan cheese with nutritional yeast. It turned out great!

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my sauce turned out grainy. I think I might have added the flour too quickly.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if the pumpkin flavor was less pronounced.
