Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 package (19 oz) cheese tortellini frozen
  • 1 jar (8 oz) pesto
  • ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
  • 1 cup cherry tomato halved
  • 8 oz mozzarella pearls
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • basil fresh, cut into strips

Instructions

  1. Prepare cheese tortellini according to package directions. (If you prefer your salad cold, run cold water over tortellini when you are done cooking it. I prefer mine warm, so I skip this.)
  2. In a large bowl, combine prepared tortellini, pesto, parmesan cheese, tomato halves, and mozzarella pearls.
  3. Season with salt and pepper according to your preference.
  4. Top with fresh basil and serve.

Notes

  • Cook the pasta to al dente and no further for the best texture and flavor.
  • Use a gentle touch when mixing the pasta salad ingredients to prevent pasta breakage
  • Enjoy this tortellini pesto salad warm or cold!
  • Store leftovers in an air-tight container for up to 3 to 5 days. Do not freeze.
  • Make the pesto pasta salad a day in advance if you'd like to serve it cold.
  • There are so many options when it comes to what to serve with tortellini salad, that we've created a list for you to check out. You can find your favorite companion or switch it up at every meal. The choice is yours!
