I made a very simple one last summer that was a big hit. Very do-ahead
and it travels well. Here it is:

Fresh cheese tortellini ( 2 of the smaller packs - I like the ones
with the regular and spinach)
1+ cup basil pesto (To taste) - homemade or from refrigerated section
4 cooked chicken breasts, cut into mini strips
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
Parmesan, for garnish

Cook tortellini in salted water. Drain & mix all ingredients together,
adding pesto to taste. Chill before serving. Sprinkle with parmesan if
desired.
