Ingredients

8

8 servings

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.
