What if I told you, this salad is literally the easiest salads you’ll ever make? You might not believe me because it tastes like you spent hours preparing it. Welcome to the world of Krazy Kitchen Mom – great recipes that are easy and taste amazing.

Tortellini Spinach Pasta Salad

Store-bought ingredients

I used convenient store-bought ingredients for this recipe and the hardest part is cutting the sun-dried tomatoes, only because I couldn’t find the pre-cut julienne sliced version. Here are the ingredients:

  1. Frozen Tortellini (I used 1/2 bag of cheese tortellini and a 1/2 bag of spinach tortellini)
  2. Packaged Baby Spinach
  3. Pre-made Packaged Pesto
  4. Mozzarella Pearls
  5. Deli sliced Prosciutto
  6. Sun-Dried Tomatoes (DO NOT USE the smoked style!)
  7. Pine Nuts

See how easy this is…everything right from the package – but don’t worry – after one bite, you will LOVE LOVE LOVE this salad.

Buying Prosciutto

I’ve shared this tip before, but it’s so good, I’m going to repeat myself! If you’ve ever bought Prosciutto, you know it’s very expensive and can run up to $20 – $25 per pound. But let’s face it, when was the last time you actually needed to buy a full pound of prosciutto? My tip for buying prosciutto is to buy just as much as you need. Skip the prepackaged version and head right to the deli. For this recipe, I bought 3 slices (cut thin). That’s all…just 3 slices.

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tip

My tip for this recipe is to freeze the extra pesto sauce. Prepared pesto can be expensive but you can easily freeze it for up to 6 months. I usually use pesto in small amounts, say 3-4 tablespoons at a time. So I place 3-4 tablespoons of prepared pesto into the snack-sized ziptop bags and freeze them. When you want to use it, just pull a bag out of the freezer and hold it between your hands and it will thaw very quickly. Now you have fresh pesto ready to go all the time.
