Steps:
- In a large pot of boiling water, cook the tortellini al dente according to the instructions on the box. Before draining, reserve about 1 cup of the cooking water and set it aside. Drain the pasta and rinse with cool water.
- In a large bowl, whisk the pesto together with ¼ cup of the reserved pasta cooking water. Add the tortellini and toss to coat evenly. If the sauce is too dry, add more of your reserved pasta water.
- Add in the tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil; toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate until serving. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature!
