Tortellini Pasta Salad

By LaurenCocch16

Ingredients

• 2 (9 oz) packages of cheese filled tortellini or ravioli (I used Buitoni)
• 1/2 cup or so of your favorite Italian dressing (I used Newman's Own)
• 1 pint of cherry tomatoes
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 cup or so of pepperoni slices, halved
• 8 to 10 green onions, chopped
• a big handful of Parmesean cheese, grated
• pinch of salt and pepper

Preparation

Step 1

1. Over medium-high heat, bring a pot of water to a boil and then drop your pasta in. Cook about 5 minutes or so (when the tortellini starts to float, it's usually done). Drain your tortellini and then immediately run cold water on it (to stop the cooking process). Once the pasta feels cool, drain all water off and set to the side.

2. In a large bowl, toss your cooled pasta with the Italian dressing and the next 6 ingredients. Cover and refrigerate at least one hour before serving.

3. Give the pasta salad a good toss when you're ready to serve and sprinkle a little more cheese on top.
