Servings: persons

2 lbs cheese tortellini
4 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons flour
2 1/2 cups skim milk
15 ounces pumpkin
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
salt and pepper
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

1
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.
2
Melt the butter, add the onion and garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Saute until the onions soften.
3
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.
4
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.
5
Toss the tortellini with the pumpkin sauce and transfer to a casserole dish. Cover with cheese and broil until cheese is browned.
