"Here's something you've heard me say before: I absolutely love Brussels sprouts.So it should come as no surprise that I add them to many dishes all winter long.Today, I'm sauteing them with a bit of olive oil and lemon before tossing them with tortellini.The finished dish is a vibrant and comforting meal -- and, best of all, it takes just more than 20 minutes to prepare. Bon appetit!"
