The lemon-dill sauce is light and bright. Everyone loves a bowl of warm pasta, but not many people love the carbs that go along with eating it. To make the pasta salad I used my favorite brand of pasta, Delallo with their Ricotta and Spinach Tortellini. I LOVE a good tortellini salad in the summer, adding shrimp adds lean protein and keeps the calories low. It's also delicious, every time I make it people ask me for the recipe.
