Gorgonzola and Prosciutto Tortellini Salad image

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
¼ cup minced green bell pepper
¼ cup minced red bell pepper
¼ cup minced red onion

Steps:

  • Slice prosciutto into strips that are 1 inch long and 1/4 inch wide.
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil; stir in tortellini and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini float to the top and the filling is hot, about 3 minutes. Drain and cool under cold running water to stop the cooking process.
  • Mix oil, vinegar, garlic, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper together in a jar. Put the lid on the jar and shake into an emulsion.
  • Place tortellini, prosciutto, Gorgonzola cheese, bell peppers, and onion in a large bowl. Pour the vinaigrette over the top and toss lightly with 2 large spoons. Enjoy immediately or allow the flavors to meld for 3 to 4 hours in the refrigerator.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The tortellini is cooked perfectly and the flavors are amazing. I usually add a bit of extra garlic and some chopped sun-dried tomatoes, which gives it a nice kick.

This recipe was a bit too rich for me, but my husband loved it. The flavors were great, but I would recommend using a lighter cheese if you're not a fan of strong flavors.

This was a delicious and easy dish to make. I used a store-bought marinara sauce and it turned out great. The tortellini was cooked perfectly and the flavors were amazing. Highly recommend!

This dish was easy to make and very flavorful. I used a store-bought Alfredo sauce and it turned out great. The tortellini was cooked perfectly and the prosciutto added a nice salty flavor.
