This was a really nice pasta salad! I used pine nuts instead of the walnuts (personal preference), and the tortellini was whole wheat, but everything else was as-written. I found it to be a teensy bit too mayonnaise-y for my tastes, but I only like mayo in small doses, so that's just me. I had some both warm and cold, and both were delicious. Thanks for posting!

I enjoy cooking, especially baking. I am married, no children though I have a dog Chance, whose internal clock must be Swiss-made as he knows what time dinner should be and is quite the taskmaster if I'm not at least in the kitchen at the appointed time.
