Avocado & Pesto Tortellini
Posted June 28th, 2008 - 5:45 pm by from San Jose, Costa Rica (Permalink)
250g Tortellini with your favorite filling
1 Avocado
2cups Cherry tomatoes (halved)
1/2 Small onion
3-4 Tablespoons heavy cream
2 Tablespoons pesto (better if homemade)
olive oil



Boil tortellini as directed and drain.

Dice the onion and sweat in a pan with some olive oil until translucent.

Add the tortellini, pesto and cream (as needed). Stir well until pesto covers the tortellini evenly. If you work fast all the ingredients should still be warm, which helps spread the pesto paste.

Add the avocado and some tomatoes and mix carefully so that you don't destroy the avocado.

If you like, just before serving, add some more tomato halves and avocado to the top for presentation points!!!
