Recipe from Leslie Forte

• 1 10oz pkg cheese or chicken stuffed tortellini
• 4 whole marinated artichoke hearts
• 2 to 3 tblsp roasted red pepper or pimento, diced
• 4 tblsp reduced calorie mayonnaise
• 1 tblsp dijon mustard
• 1 tblsp parmesean cheese, grated
• 2 tblsp basil, chopped
• 2 tblsp parsley, chopped
• salt and pepper

• Cook tortellini, rinse and drain well.
• Toss with 1 tblsp of the marinated artichoke liquid to keep from sticking together.
• More may be added for flavoring of desired.
• Drain artichokes; cut into chunks.
• Combine remaining ingredients and toss gently in a large bowl to combine.
• Refigerate if not served immediately.

	Canned non-marinated artichokes can also be used - in that case, use some olive oil to keep the pasta from sticking together and a little bit of vinegar may be needed to give the salad a kick.
