Ingredients

  • 1 14-oz Bag Fresh Cheese Tortellini
  • 2 Cups Broccoli cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 6 Slices Bacon cooked and cooled
  • 3 Green Onions sliced, green parts only
  • 1 1/2 Cups Cheddar Cheese freshly shredded
  • 1 Cup Sliced Cherry Tomatoes
  • 1 Cup Ranch Dressing

Instructions

  • Boil a large pot of water over high heat then cook the tortellini for 4 minutes.
  • In the meantime, prepare a large bowl of ice water then use a slotted spoon to remove the tortellini and place it in the ice bath.
  • Stir until cooled then pour into a colander and set aside to drain for 10 minutes.
  • Prepare another ice bath in the same bowl then add the broccoli to the water and cook for 1 minute.
  • Remove with a slotted spoon and place directly into the ice bath.
  • Drain the water and set aside to drain as much as possible as well.
  • Next, toss all the ingredients including the tortellini and broccoli together in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve with more crispy bacon and sliced green onions if desired.

Notes

NOTE:  This will serve 4-5 people as a main dish, or 6-10 as a side.  If you have a larger crowd, I would recommend doubling the recipe.
