Method

  1. Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Add the broccoli, cook for 2 mins, then add the tortellini and cook for 2 mins, or according to pack instructions. Drain everything, gently rinse under cold water until cool, then tip into a bowl. Toss with the pesto, pine nuts and balsamic vinegar. Add the tomatoes, pack into containers and chill. Let the salad get to room temperature during the morning to get the most flavour from the tomatoes and pesto.

    I wasn't keen on this at all. I found the pesto a little over powering and the mix of the pesto and the tortellini was just too much flavour. I would use just plain pasta next time, or tomato pesto.

    Loved this recipe - we eat it warm and mix the tomatoes in at the end. the pine nuts and balsamic vinegar make a really nice addition. Have made it twice already!

    Made this for dinner today and it was amazing! I added extra garlic when making a sauce. When down well in the much needed sunshine!
