Working time approx. 15 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 15 minutes

Place the peas, celery, diced tomatoes, garlic, and basil leaves in a large bowl. For the marinade, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, sugar, oil, cream, curry powder, and Parmesan cheese, and season generously with salt and pepper. Add to the vegetables and toss to combine. Cook the tortellini in boiling salted water according to the package instructions. Drain well. While still hot, add to the vegetables and marinade and toss quickly but thoroughly. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour. The salad will marinate even better if left overnight. It also tastes great slightly warmed the next day.
