TORTELLINI SALAD FOOD NETWORK RECIPES

Steps:

• In a 3-quart soup pot, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Saute the onion and garlic, stirring often until onions are translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add broth and tomatoes, turn heat up to high, and bring to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook according to package instructions. When tortellini is almost done, add spinach and taste, adjusting seasonings with salt and pepper. Serve immediately. Garnish each serving with a sprinkling of Parmesan.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place the squash, cauliflower, shallots and chickpeas on a half-sheet pan. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and sprinkle with the zaatar and salt, then toss to coat well. Roast, turning once, until the veggies are tender and just starting to brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
• While the veggies cook, make the dressing. Whisk together the tahini, maple syrup, lemon juice, a pinch of salt and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. While whisking, slowly drizzle in 1 tablespoon of the hot water at a time, until the mixture is smooth. Season with salt.
• Remove the roasted veggies from the oven. Top with the arugula, pomegranate seeds, pistachios and goat cheese, then drizzle with the tahini dressing.
