    These addictive little tortellinis…in chilled pasta salad form!

    What exactly is it about tortellinis that make them so irresistible?! 

    It’s probably as simple as – it’s cheese plus pasta. 

    But I think it’s because they’re so cute.

    And they cook so easily and quickly. 

    And they make for a lovely Tortiellini Pasta Salad – perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. 

    This pasta salad is packed with freshness, flavor, a little crunch and a whole lotta goodness. 

    It’s going to be the hit as your next side dish, or potluck appearance, or backyard BBQ. 

    Enjoy!
