Cheese Tortellini Salad

Ingredients

• 3 (250 g) packages cheese tortellini
• 1/2 pound pepperoni, chopped
• 1/2 pound provolone cheese, chopped
• 2 (6.5 ounce) jars marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
• 1 (6 ounce) can sliced black olives
• 1/2 (8 ounce) bottle Italian-style salad dressing, or more to taste
• 1 (.7 ounce) package dry Italian salad dressing mix (such as Good Seasons)
• Ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Cook tortellini at a boil, stirring occasionally, until the pasta floats to the top and the filling is hot, 6 to 8 minutes; drain. Rinse tortellini with cold water until completely cooled; drain and transfer to a large bowl.

Stir pepperoni, provolone cheese, artichoke hearts, black olives, Italian-style salad dressing, dry Italian dressing mix, and black pepper with the tortellini. Add more Italian dressing just before serving, if desired.
