This is one of my standard pasta salads for potlucks or parties. It's vegetarian and so good! Don't skimp with the dressing because the tortellini soak up a lot of dressing. I estimated the dressing amounts, so you just need to taste for yourself.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

  • 3 (12 ounce) packages refrigerated cheese tortellini

  • ½ (10 ounce) package frozen peas

  • 3 tomatoes, chopped

  • 1 cup coarsely grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 bunch fresh chives, chopped

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

Dressing:

  • 6 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 lemons, juiced

  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

  • ¾ teaspoon salt

  • ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook tortellini in boiling water until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.

  2. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook peas for 2 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.

  3. Combine cooled tortellini, cooled peas, tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, chives, and parsley in a bowl.

  4. Combine olive oil, lemon juice, sugar, salt, and pepper in a little bowl; the dressing is supposed to taste sour. Pour over tortellini salad and mix well. Refrigerate at least 2 hours. Taste before serving and season with salt and pepper, if necessary.
