This delicious Italian tortellini salad is a recipe that breathes new life into the world of pasta salads. I created this recipe to be full of Italian flavors and ingredients that shout pure indulgence.
My Italian tortellini pasta salad recipe is not only mouthwatering, but it is quick and easy to make. Tortellini takes at least 15 minutes to cook, which is enough time to prepare all the remaining pasta salad ingredients.
1. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the tortellini. Reduce heat to a low boil and gently boil the tortellini for at least 15 to 20 minutes or according to package instructions. See note below about cooking time.
2. Slice a garlic clove in half and rub the open side of the garlic clove around the inside of the bowl. Then set the garlic clove aside because we’ll chop and add it with the other ingredients.
