Ingredients

  • 2 oz of savory prosciutto
  • 1 lb of frozen tortellini
  • A generous ½ cup of extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup of white wine vinegar
  • 2 large cloves of garlic, finely minced
  • 1 ½ tsp of fragrant dried basil
  • 1 tsp of aromatic dried oregano
  • ¼ tsp of salt
  • ¼ tsp of freshly ground black pepper
  • A decadent ½ cup of finely crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
  • ¼ cup of finely minced green bell pepper
  • ¼ cup of finely minced red bell pepper
  • ¼ cup of finely minced red onion

Step 1

Cut the prosciutto into strips that are about an inch long and a quarter inch wide.

Step 2

Start by filling a large pot with water, adding a pinch of salt, and bringing it to a vigorous boil. Then, gently stir in the tortellini and allow it to return to a boil. Let it cook uncovered, giving it an occasional stir, until the tortellini rise to the surface and the filling is heated through, approximately 3 minutes. Once done, drain the tortellini and cool them under cold running water to halt the cooking process.

Step 3

For the dressing, combine oil, vinegar, minced garlic, fresh basil, oregano, salt, and pepper in a jar. Seal the jar with a lid and shake vigorously until it forms a smooth emulsion.

Step 4

In a spacious bowl, combine the cooked tortellini, prosciutto, crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, diced bell peppers, and onion. Drizzle the prepared vinaigrette over the mixture and gently toss everything together using two large spoons. Serve immediately for a delightful meal, or for enhanced flavors, refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours to allow the ingredients to harmonize.
