This is one of the fastest weeknight recipes ever, and that’s about all my mind can wrap itself around after a giant Thanksgiving feast. I still need to post some notes on my Thanksgiving menu, especially since some of those dishes will be repeated in a few weeks for Christmas. But for now, I feel like keeping it super simple with this recipe from Food Network that I made way back in June (so feel free to bookmark it for a time when cherry tomatoes are tasting awesome). I always skip the mushrooms, which are in the original recipe linked to below. And I like tortellini over ravioli, they seem to hold together better.
