TORTELLINI SALAD WITH TOMATOES AND PEAS



Tortellini Salad with Tomatoes and Peas image

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh peas, garlic, and Parmesan cheese will make a big difference in the taste of your tortellini dish.
  • Cook the tortellini according to package directions. Overcooked tortellini will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the tortellini. If you do, the tortellini will stick together and won't cook evenly.
  • Use a large skillet to cook the tortellini so that they have plenty of room to move around.
  • Add the peas and garlic to the pan towards the end of cooking so that they don't overcook.
  • Stir in the Parmesan cheese just before serving. This will help to melt the cheese and create a creamy sauce.
  • Serve the tortellini with a side salad or some crusty bread.

Conclusion:

Tortellini with peas is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover tortellini. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
