Ingredients:
- Kosher salt
- 230g refrigerated cheese tortellini
- 1 pint grape tomatoes, quartered
- 1 cup giardiniera vegetables, drained and chopped
- One 6-ounce jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 1/2 cup pimento-stuffed green olives, chopped
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 230g fresh mozzarella-and-pepperoni rolls (or any other variation of a fresh mozzarella roll)
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions:
- Start by heating a large pot of water with some salt until it boils. Cook the tortellini following the instructions on the package. Once ready, drain the tortellini and place them in a big bowl.
- Combine the tortellini in the bowl with tomatoes, giardiniera vegetables, artichokes, olives, olive oil, and vinegar.
- Cut the mozzarella roll into thin slices. Keep half for later to decorate the dish. Cut the remaining half into quarters and mix it with the tortellini and vegetables.
- Add more salt and pepper to the pasta as needed. Mix in the parsley, saving a small amount for decoration. Transfer the pasta onto a serving plate, arrange the reserved cheese slices around the pasta salad, and sprinkle with the remaining parsley. Enjoy the dish at room temperature.
