Pesto Tortellini Pasta Salad

Pesto Tortellini Pasta Salad is the perfect simple dinner or potluck dish! It’s like a pasta salad but made with cheese tortellini, basil pesto, sun-dried tomatoes and pine nuts! It’s a hearty pesto pasta salad that I can never stop eating.
I think I could live on tortellini…especially with my homemade pesto! Making a Tortellini Salad with pesto is SO simple – it’s done in less than 30 minutes. I make this every time I have a party and sometimes I just keep it in the fridge for quick lunches or dinners all summer long.
I love to use tortellini in pasta salads. It adds texture, flavor and if you use cheese tortellini it makes this dish a great vegetarian side dish for parties. In fact, if I had to choose, I think I could go without all other pasta and just live on tortellini!
