Ingredients
- 1 9 oz. package tortellini
- 1 cup grape tomatoes halved
- 1 8 oz. package of mozzarella pearls
- 2 handfuls raw spinach chopped
- 1 6.7 oz. jar of pesto
Instructions
- Fill a pot with about 4 quarts of water for every 9 oz. of tortellini you are making. Salt your water and bring it to a boil.
- While your water is heating up, slice 1 cup of tomatoes, chop 2 handfuls of spinach, and set all your ingredients aside. You want to make an assembly line for yourself once the tortellini is done cooking.
- Your water should be boiling by now, so place your tortellini in the boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Drain your tortellini and run cold water over them. This will allow you to assemble the cold tortellini salad right away.
- In a bowl combine all your ingredients and mix until your pesto is evenly coated.
