Summer Tortellini Pasta Salad
Another fun way to serve the pan fried tortellini: Place them onto skewers! Pan fried tortellini, tomatoes, cucumbers, fresh basil and salami. I also served the skewers with toasted bread, olives and a homemade pesto. Delicious!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 package Five Cheese Tortellini
- 1 to 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 to 2 fresh garlic cloves minced
- 2 cups assortment cherry tomatoes
- salt and pepper
- cooked corn
- pesto
- toasted pine nuts
Instructions
- Cook Five Cheese Tortellini according to package instructions but only for 3 minutes. Drain and set aside. Using a skillet over medium high heat, heat the olive oil, garlic and add in the cherry tomatoes. After a minute or two, season with salt and pepper and continue to cook the tomatoes until they begin to burst.
- Add in the Five Cheese Tortellini and cook, stirring occasionally so the tortellini doesn't stick to the pan. Add in the cooked corn and stir to incorporate. After a few minutes, remove from the heat.
- Garnish with some pesto and sprinkle on some toasted pine nuts and enjoy!
