Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 ounces prosciutto
  2. 1 pound frozen tortellini
  3. ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  4. ¼ cup white wine vinegar
  5. 2 large cloves garlic, minced
  6. 1 ½ teaspoons dried basil
  7. 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  8. ¼ teaspoon salt
  9. ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  10. ½ cup finely crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
  11. ¼ cup minced green bell pepper
  12. ¼ cup minced red bell pepper
  13. ¼ cup minced red onion

Instructions

  1. Slice prosciutto into strips that are 1 inch long and 1/4 inch wide.
  2. 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.
  3. Mix oil, vinegar, garlic, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper together in a jar. Put the lid on the jar and shake into an emulsion.
  4. 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.

Antonio Harvey
left out the prosciutto for vegetarians and the amounts were perfect. Whole bowl eaten

Delish! Doubled the ingredients because that’s what I do when I know it’s going to be good so we have leftovers! I used less Gorgonzola in the whole recipe, husband added more to his own dish. Personal preference.

I’m the author of this recipe. If you want a stronger prosciutto flavor, you can take the pieces of prosciutto and lay them out on a baking sheet with parchment, and bake until they are crispy like bacon at 350f or so. Then let them cool and crumble them. The last few times I’ve made this, I use this method, and it make it even better.
