    1. To make the pesto: Puree all the ingredients for pesto in wor kbowl of food processor or possibly in a blender, working in batches. Transfer to a small bowl and place a piece of plastic wrap directly on surface to prevent discoloring.

Drain well and refresh under cool water. In a large bowl toss together the tortellini and pesto. Cover and chill for at least 4 hrs (or possibly overnight). Add in the remaining ingredients, except oil. Combine well and add in oil only if salad seems dry. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
