    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!,Really good recipe! Thank you I brought it to a potluck and it got muched right down!,Add a small finely chopped red onion and 1/4 C home made Italian salad dressing instead of plain olive oil. Everyone will wonder why your salad is so yummy!!
