Ingredients
1 package tortellini
3 tablespoons vinegar
1 tablespoon mustard
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon fresh basil
2 tablespoons parsley
1 small onions
to taste none salt
to taste none pepper
1 cup olives
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
Method
Begin by cooking the tortellini in a pot of salted boiling water until it reaches a perfect al dente texture, as per the package guidelines.
As the tortellini cooks, create a tangy marinade by combining vinegar, mustard, minced garlic, fresh basil, finely diced parsley, and chopped onions. Season generously with salt and pepper.
After cooking, drain the tortellini and rinse it under cold water to stop the cooking process. Place it in a mixing bowl and pour the prepared marinade over it.
Incorporate some olives and any additional ingredients of your choice, mix well, then cover and refrigerate to allow the flavors to meld.
When ready to serve, top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of parsley for added color and taste. Provide toothpicks for easy serving.
