Tortellini with Basil Hummus and Arugula Salad

Soft pasta pillows of tortellini step into the spotlight tonight. They’re turned out with a dazzling white sauce and each dinner plate wears a designer hat of basil hummus. A compliment of soft and frilly dressed baby arugula is draped over the shoulders of this Italian favorite while accents of chopped red tomato punctuate the presentation.

Tasteful applause is acceptable.
