Ingredients

• 8 cheese tortellinis
• 8 slices thinly sliced salami
• 8 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 2 artichoke hearts, quartered
• 4 grape tomatoes, halved
• 8 (1 inch) cubes fresh mozzarella cheese
• 4 pitted black olives, halved

Directions

Bring a small pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook tortellini in the boiling water until pasta floats to the top, 1 to 2 minutes; drain.
