Ingredients:
1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained, quartered
1 (10 ounce) cont. grape tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1 (6 ounce) can medium black olives, drained, sliced in half lengthwise
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 (20 ounce) package cheese-filled egg tortellini, cooked al dente, drained (fresh or frozen)
1/3 cup olive oil, more if needed
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, the kind in the can
1 (8 ounce) jar basil pesto
1/2 teaspoon salt, more if needed
2 teaspoons minced garlic
12 ounces mozzarella cheese, cubed
8 ounces half of a 1 lb. box rotini pasta, cooked al dente, drained

Directions:

1 Cook pastas, set aside to drain and cool a bit.
 
2 In large bowl or punch bowl, add rest of ingredients, folding gently til well mixed.
 
3 Gently fold in pastas well.
 
4 Adjust seasoning to taste, meaning, add more salt, parmesan, etc., til you like it.
 
5 Serve immediately, or refrigerate.
 
6 *If you make this say a day ahead of time, you'll need to "refresh" this. Just add a bit more olive oil, salt and parmesan before serving.
 
7 This salad is best, though, room temp, or even slightly warm.
