CHEESE TORTELLINI PESTO PASTA SALAD

This is my favorite way to make (and eat!) pasta salad in the whole world! I have been making it for years and always get asked for my recipe. So happy to share it with you all! *It makes alot, I'll warn ya, but you can make a smaller version by omitting the rotini and adding half the rest of the ingredients...but... it's highly...

Steps:

1. Cook pastas, set aside to cool a bit.
2. In large bowl or punch bowl, add rest of ingredients folding gently til well mixed.
3. Gently fold in pastas well.
4. Adjust seasonings to taste, meaning, add more salt, parmesan, etc., til it's to your own liking.
5. Serve immediately, or refrigerate.
6. *If serving this much later or the next day, you'll need to "refresh" this. Just add a bit more olive oil, salt and parmesan cheese before serving as the noodles suck up the oil and seasonings a bit.
7. *This salad is best room temp or even slightly warm.

1 (10 oz.) container grape tomatoes, halved lengthwise

1 (8 oz.) jar(s) basil pesto
1/2 tsp salt, more if needed

CHEESE TORTELLINI PESTO PASTA SALAD

This is most definately my FAVORITE pasta salad in the world! I have been making it for years, but never wrote it down....well...thanks to Recipezaar I'm learning to "measure", LOL!!!! Very happy to share! This recipe is for a small crowd. If making just for your family, omit the rotini, and add only as much of the rest of the ingredients (about half) that you'd like. Don't worry, it's really simple and easy!
