very tasty and simple

To make the pesto, first roast the cashew nuts. Blend the remaining ingredients, except the Parmesan, together with the cooled nuts. Grate the Parmesan and fold in. Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes. Cut the mozzarella into small pieces. Cook the tortellini according to the package instructions. Serve the individual ingredients in bowls, so everyone can mix as much of each component as they like. If you like, you can add some arugula. Any leftover pesto can be stored in the refrigerator. It will keep for at least a week. If completely covered with oil, it will last much longer.
