Sun-dried tomato tortellini pasta salad.

Pesto tortellini, sun-dried tomatoes, a little balsamic vin, some spices, parmesan cheese and slivered almonds.

Mixed and yum! I should get more into pasta salads.

RECIPE

Tortellini Mix:

• Cook one package refrigerated tortellini as directed.
• Drain well and add into a medium-large mixing bowl.
• Toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
• Add 3/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes.
• Add 1/4 cup slivered almonds (Toasted if you would like them crunchy!).
• Toss in a small handful of shredded parmesan cheese.

Balsamic Sauce:

• Pour 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar into a small bowl.
• Add fresh ground black pepper, Italian seasoning, dried basil, and garlic salt to taste (I use shakers and do about 4 shakes.)
• Optional - Add crushed red pepper for a little kick.
• Optional - Add 1 teaspoon of Caesar dressing to make it a little creamier.
• Add Balsamic Sauce to Tortellini Mix, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired taste.
