Ingredients
1 package (350 g) cheese tortellini, uncooked
1 teaspoon olive oil

1/2 cup cocktail bocconcini, halved
1/4 cup basil pesto
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
kosher salt
freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Boil tortellini following the package directions until al dente. Drain and toss with olive oil to prevent pasta from sticking. Allow to cool in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, slice the tomatoes and bocconcini balls in half.
- In a bowl, combine the cooled tortellini, tomatoes, bocconcini, pesto and balsamic vinegar. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
- Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
Tortellini: substitute cheese tortellini with spinach or meat-filled versions. Tortellini can usually be found in the refrigerated or frozen sections of your grocery store.
Storage: leftovers will stay fresh for up to 3 days refrigerated in an airtight container.
