Description

Garlic Parmesan Tortellini Salad is a delightful dish that combines the rich flavors of cheese tortellini with fresh ingredients, featuring tender tortellini, vibrant cherry tomatoes, and aromatic garlic, all tossed together with a zesty dressing.


Ingredients

  • Cheese tortellini: 250 grams (about 9 oz, fresh or frozen)
  • Garlic: 3 cloves, minced
  • Parmesan cheese: 50 grams (about 1/2 cup, grated)

  • Fresh basil: 1/2 cup, chopped
  • Olive oil: 3 tablespoons
  • Balsamic vinegar: 1 tablespoon
