Step by Step Method
Step 1
Cook the tortellini according to the package directions. Drain well and transfer to a bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and toss well.

With the motor running, add the olive oil in a slow, steady stream until all the oil is incorporated. Transfer the pesto to a bowl. (May be made 3 - 4 days in advance and refrigerated until needed; return to room temperature to serve.)
