QUICK CREAMY PESTO TORTELLINI
This dish is so easy to make, and very tasty!! I love the texture of tortellini, and when I decided to add some shrimp to the dish, that made the texture "party" even better! If you like pesto, you will enjoy this dish! If you have never tried pesto, give it a whirl! This may be my pot luck dish for the next few occasions!

Steps:
- 1. Cook tortellini according to package directions and chill. Use whatever variety of tortellini you prefer.
- 2. Combine remaining ingredients and add to chilled pasta.
- 3. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve.
- 4. I had some small frozen cooked shrimp and decided to add them to the salad. It was an excellent idea, if I do say so myself! I would think you could add cooked chicken, turkey, tuna, whatever you'd like if you chose to.
- 5. If plating it for serving, you may want to put tomato slices around it or enhance it with a vegetable of your choice, but it is not necessary. I chose tomatoes because it is fresh tomato season right now, and I can't get enough of them!
CHEESE TORTELLINI WITH CREAMY PESTO SAUCE
This recipe is quick and easy. You may want to use fresh ingredients; however, I cooked with what I had in my kitchen and created this recipe myself. The ingredients include: frozen cheese tortellini, butter, mushrooms, a can of mushroom soup, a package of cream cheese, milk, bottled pesto sauce, diced tomatoes, salt and pepper, and parmesan cheese. If you have wine on hand, a "splash" will do this dish justice.

Steps:
- In 4 quarts of boiling water, add 1 lb. of frozen cheese tortellini. Once water comes to a boil (which could take 15 minutes), cook for 12 minutes.
- While the tortelli is cooking, heat 2 Tbls. of butter in pan (large enough to add all ingredients towards the end). Saute the mushrooms in the melted butter.
- Add the can of cream of mushroom soup and milk. Mix well.
- Now, add the cream cheese and stir until the cream cheese has melted and the mixture is creamy.
- Add the pesto sauce until blended nicely, cooking all ingredients over a medium flame.
- Add the tomatoes. Continue stirring, adding the salt and pepper.
- Now, add the cooked tortellini to the creamy mixture and coat the tortellini, stirring gently - you do not wish to break up the cooked tortellini.
- Add a splash of red wine - stir until blended. (Wine is optional, but the alcohol will burn off, and the wine flavor remains.).
- Lastly, add the grated parmesan cheese and stir gently while the flame is still on medium.
- Lower the flame to "simmer." If you have a lid for your pan, cover your pan; if not, that's fine, too -- let the tortellini and creamy mixture simmer on a low flame for 8 minutes. Your Cheese Tortellini with Creamy Pesto Sauce is ready to be served.
- Dish up into separate bowls. This dish cools quickly, so serve promptly.
- Cover leftovers and refrigerate. When re-heating, add a little milk, if desired.

CREAM CHEESE PESTO TORTELLINI
I love the combination of cream cheese and pesto, so I tried this and it worked!! It has been one of my favorite dishes to make. I use it as a main dish but it could certainly be a side dish.
