Hmm.. since you're serving the tortellini as a side dish, that's kind of tricky.
Since I can't really help you out with a main dish, try this as an additional side since you're kind of going the Italian route:
Sauteed Broccoli Rabe Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis
4 bunches (12 to 16 ounces each) broccoli rabe (rapini), stems trimmed
1/4 cup olive oil
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/3 cup raisins
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
Working in batches, cook the broccoli rabe in a large pot of boiling salted water until crisp tender, about 2 to 3 minutes per bunch. Transfer the broccoli rabe to a large bowl of ice water to cool. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid. Drain the cooled broccoli rabe and set aside.
Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes, and saute until the garlic is golden, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the broccoli rabe and toss to coat. Add the reserved cooking water, the raisins, and cook until the broccoli rabe is heated through and the stems are tender, about 4 minutes. Season with salt, to taste. Toss the mixture with toasted pine nuts, serve immediately.

Caprese salad: sliced tomatoes and mozzarella buffala served one slice of tameto and one mozzarella and s on.Sprinkle with basil fresh ground pepper and olive oil.
Red wine, i guess a good Chianti Castelani would do.
Another good starter is Grilled eggplants cut in two and erved with chopped garlic, parsley and olive oil, fresh ground pepper and sea salt.
