Tortellini with Fresh Tomato Basil Sauce

So simple and easy to make and great for hot summer days cause it is light and quick.

Ingredients
1 pkg (20 oz) uncooked refrigerated cheese-filled tortellini
6-8 medium (3 c) tomatoes, seeded and coarsely chopped (I usually use 6-8 plum tomatoes)
3 Tbsp snipped fresh basil leaves (In a pinch, I have used about 1 Tbsp of dried basil- still yummy)
1 Tsp balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 large garlic cloves, pressed
1/4 c (1 oz) grated fresh Parmesan cheese

Directions
1. Cook tortellini according to package directions. Drain.

2. Meanwhile, chop tomatoes and remove seeds. Place in small bowl.

3. Add basil, vinegar, salt and black pepper to tomatoes and mix thoroughly.

4. Heat oil in large pan over medium heat. Add pressed garlic. Stir one minute or until garlic is lightly browned. Remove pan from heat. Add tortellini and tomato mixture - toss gently. Spoon pasta into serving bowl. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
