Tortellini & Bow Tie Pasta Salad image

This is the best tasting Italian Style Pasta salad I have ever eaten. I received this recipe from a caterer at our church Cyndy Totten, who gave me permission to post her recipes. Cooking time is cooling time in the refrigerator.

Categories     European

Time 1h20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces cooked multi-colored cheese tortellini
2 cups dry bow tie pasta, which has been cooked
1 cup sliced black olives
1 cup chopped pepperoni or 1 cup salami
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1 cup chopped fresh tomato
2 cups your favorite Italian dressing
2 tablespoons your favorite salad seasoning (I use Salad Supreme Seasoning)

Steps:

  • Drain the precooked Tortellini and Bow Tie Pasta in a large colander.
  • Rinse both pastas under cold water until completely cooled.
  • Drain completely and set aside.
  • In a large salad bowl, toss together the Salad Pastas and Vegetables.
  • Add the Dressing and Spices and toss everything well.
  • Refrigerate until time to serve.
  • This salad develops more flavor the longer it refrigerates so it can be made the night before if desired.
  • Lightly toss just prior to serving.

This pasta salad is a great make-ahead dish. I usually make it the night before and it's even better the next day.

This is a great recipe for using up leftover tortellini and bow tie pasta. I also like to add some chopped ham or chicken to this salad.

I love the combination of flavors and textures in this pasta salad. The tortellini is soft and chewy, the bow tie pasta is al dente, and the vegetables are crisp and refreshing.
