📝 Preparation Steps
1
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat and cook the tortellini according to the package directions (about ⏱️ 2-4 minutes for fresh, ⏱️ 4-6 minutes for frozen).
2
Drain the tortellini and rinse it with cold water to stop it from cooking and cool it down.
3
Add the cheese tortellini to a large serving bowl, along with the pesto, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella pearls, red onion, kalamata olives, parmesan cheese, and fresh basil.
cherry tomatoes (halved)1 cup
4
Gently toss all of the ingredients together until they are lightly coated with the pesto (I recommend using a silicone spatula to avoid tearing the tortellini).
5
Taste and add salt, pepper, or more of the other ingredients if needed.
6
Serve immediately or, for the best results, cover and chill for ⏱️ 30-60 minutes before serving.
