Pesto, White Bean, Tomato, and Tortellini Salad

We've had a ton of basil coming out of our garden recently, and so I have been making pesto all the time! I have been trying to come up with new ways to use it, and this was a really awesome option. This salad is great because it's very filling and vegetarian. I like trying to eat vegetarian as often as I can because its healthy, and it saves me money, not eating meat at every meal. If you are one of those people who needs meat with every meal, though, this would pair great with any grilled item, such as bratwurst or chicken breasts.

Ingredients:

1 (19 oz.) bag frozen tortellini
1/2 cup pesto
1 can white beans, drained and rinsed (I used great northern beans)
1 roma tomato, diced

Directions:

1. Cook tortellini according to package directions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and allow time to cool.
2. Mix the tortellini, pesto, white beans and tomatoes. 
3. Toss ingredients until well mixed and everything is coated in pesto.
4. If desired, chill before serving.
