I tried it myself, not being the submitter and it was great. A nice alternative dressing and sauce idea for tortellini or any other pasta.
The crowd loved it! Tossed it warm and served it at room temp. Added diced yellow pepper for a little more color, also lots of different fresh herbs which only made it more interesting.
