How to Make Tortellini Bow Tie Pasta Salad
- Cook 1 pound of cheese tortellini and 8 ounces of bow tie pasta according to package directions. Drain in a large colander.
- Rinse both pastas under cold running water until completely cooled. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooled pasta with 1 cup chopped cherry tomatoes, 1/2 cup chopped red onion, 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper, and 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup Italian dressing, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Pour the dressing over the pasta and vegetables. Gently toss to combine.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
- Before serving, give the salad a light toss and adjust seasoning as needed.
