I had this idea in my head of what kind of salad would be awesome with the grilled steaks we are having. My friend Denise makes THE BEST pasta salad I've ever had, this was a bit of a omage to her!.. . So I made a trip to Trader Joes and bought all the stuff and came home put it all together and hoped for the best! Well I'm happy to report it was a huge delicious success! Of coarse I didn't really measure anything but I'll try and estimate! I always taste and add and taste and adjust.. It's perfect for summer night BBQ's!
Ingredients :
2 pkgs cheese Tortellini ( the refrigerated kind)
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 jar of marinated artichokes ( I got mine at trader joes)
2 med beefsteak tomatoes
1/2 jar Tuscan Italian dressing from trader joes
1/2 C chopped fresh basil - or more that's just how much I had
Directions
Cook tortellini according to package directions
While its cooking cut up tomatoes and basil
After tortellini is done throw some ice cubes in with them to cool off then remove
Add all the rest of ingredients
Mix and chill for at least 30 min.
