Very easy. You just put in 3, 4, or 5 chease Tortolini(SP) into Boiling water. A bit of salt but it still seems to work okay if you forget the salt. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes depending on what brand you buy. Then you drain it. Poor cold water over it. Drain it and ad the pesto spices which are in olive oil sold near the pesto pasta.
When my wife then girlfriend mentioned a non red sause pasta dish I did not think I would like it. But I love it.
And it is more special since I never had it before meeting her.
Re: So Easy a guy can do it Heh - that's similar to one I do, particularly for potluck dinners. Only instead of the pesto, mix basil and olive oil til it's sort of paste-like in consistency, and then add in a package of "shortcuts" chicken or something similar - mix it all together, and you've got your main course.
If it's for a potluck dinner, get the tri-colored cheese tortellini and then it looks all pretty
