Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 17

20 ounces cheese tortellini
2 bell peppers (, cut into thin strips)
½ large red onion (, thinly sliced)
1 lb asparagus (, trimmed and cut into 1 ½-inch pieces)
2 zucchini (, cut into quarter-moon slices)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and pepper
1 ½ cups packed basil leaves (, plus extra for garnish)
½ cup packed fresh parsley (, plus extra for garnish)
¼ cup sliced oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
¼ cup pine nuts (, optional)
2 garlic cloves
½ cup freshly grated manchego or parmesan cheese
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces grape or cherry tomatoes (, halved)
¼ teaspoon hot pepper sauce (, optional)

Steps:

  • Cook tortellini in boiling salted water as directed on the package. Drain and place in a large bowl to cool.
  • Preheat oven to 400F. Arrange peppers, red onion, asparagus, and zucchini on a large parchment-lined, rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over and season with salt and pepper.
  • Roast 10-12 minutes until vegetables are al dente and not too soft. Set baking sheet aside to cool.
  • While vegetables roast, make the pesto. Combine the basil, parsley, sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts, garlic, cheese, lemon zest and juice in a food processor or blender. Pulse a few times to mix.
  • With the machine running, slowly add the oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Makes about 1 ¼ cups.
  • Add the partially roasted vegetables and cherry tomatoes to the large bowl with the tortellini.
  • Pour about ¾ cup of the pesto over the mixture and gently toss to coat. You can add more pesto to your liking and serve the remaining on the side.
  • Add hot pepper sauce if desired, season to taste with salt and pepper, and garnish with extra basil and parsley. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.) Enjoy!

CHEESE TORTELLINI PESTO PASTA SALAD



Cheese Tortellini Pesto Pasta Salad image

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!
