Step-by-Step Instructions
- Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat. Add a pinch of salt and carefully introduce the tortellini. Cook according to package instructions, usually around 2-4 minutes, until al dente.
- Drain the tortellini in a colander and rinse immediately with cold water to halt the cooking process. Shake gently to remove excess water.
- Transfer the cooled tortellini into a large mixing bowl. Add in halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and diced red onion.
- Fold in drained mozzarella pearls, arugula, and baby spinach. Gently mix to ensure even distribution.
- Drizzle in basil pesto and fold the ingredients together, ensuring everything is well-coated.
- Taste and add salt and pepper as desired, mix gently to incorporate the seasoning evenly.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Toss before serving.
