There's an amazing Italian grocery store near me, which has some amazing pasta salads. They are not cheap, but they are delicious. My favorite one is the Gorgonzola and prosciutto pasta salad. This is my clone of it and it tastes exactly like theirs when tasted side by side.

Time 25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 ounces prosciutto
1 pound frozen tortellini
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup white wine vinegar
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup finely crumbled Gorgonzola cheese

Steps:

  • Slice prosciutto into strips that are 1 inch long and 1/4 inch wide.
