Fall is quickly approaching and that means plenty of warm foods and flavors will be coming back into style.  I’m very excited as I’m missed some of my favorites.   One of my favorite meals is pasta but it’s so hard to eat it in the summer because it’s too hot.   So I couldn’t wait to cook up some pasta and I decided to try it with one of Mezzetta Napa Valley Homemade Sauces.

Delicious Tortellini Primavera with Roasted Vegetables and Mezzetta Marinara Sauce

Mezzetta has 6 delicious new Napa Valley Homemade Sauces including Marinara, Tomato Basil, Wild Mushroom, and 3 other tasty flavors.   I went with the marinara because my theory is if I want to know whether or not a sauce is good, I try the plain marinara.  If you have a good marinara, all your other sauces will be good too.

In our house Friday night is Italian night so last night my husband and I enjoyed a tasty pasta dinner.   It’s also CSA day in our house so I took some of the vegetables we got this week, roasted them in the oven, then placed them over tortellini.  I topped the dish with Mezzetta Marinara Sauce.

My husband and I really enjoyed the fresh flavor of the 100% hand selected plum tomatoes in the sauce.   It went really well with the roasted vegetables and the tortellini.  This was a great way to welcome fall.  The best part is it got us cooking in the kitchen together.  I made the pasta and vegetables while my husband made a salad.  It was the Perfect Pasta Night.
