Ingredients

1 lb tortellini (or pasta of your choice) 6 oz salami (or meat of your choice)

6 oz pepperoni

8 oz sliced cherry tomatoes

8 oz olives (Castelvetrano or Kalamata) 4 oz red onions

4 oz sun dried tomatoes (optional)

4 oz sharp provolone

4 oz fresh mozzarella

2 oz fresh basil

6 oz basil pesto

Splash of balsamic vinegar to taste Drizzle of extra virgin olive oil

Salt, to taste

Pepper, to taste

Grated Parmesan, to taste

Directions

Prepare your pasta per the package instructions. Drain and let the pasta cool completely. Drizzle the pasta with olive oil to prevent sticking and let it cool off in the fridge for at least an hour. Chop up all other ingredients. After the pasta has cooled, remove the cold pasta from the fridge and put in a large mixing bowl. Add all chopped ingredients and mix well. Set in the fridge for another 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Sprinkle with Parmigiano for an extra layer of flavor and serve. Buon Appetito!
