9 oz. package cheese tortellini
8 oz. package fresh mozzarella balls or pearls
10 oz. package bite-size tomatoes
Two heads of broccoli, chopped small
3 oz. package pepperoni
1/4 c Italian dressing (get a good one for this)
1/4 c pesto
Chop the broccoli and boil water to cook tortellini according to package directions. Do NOT overcook tortellini! Place chopped broccoli in the colander and drain pasta over it to blanch the broccoli. Rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Mix in a large bowl with mozzarella, tomatoes, and pepperoni. In a small bowl (or jar) combine the Italian dressing and pesto, then pour over salad and toss again to mix.
