Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Cheese tortellini
- 300 grams Broccoli florets
- 100 grams Salami, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to the package directions, usually about 2-3 minutes for fresh tortellini. Use a slotted spoon to remove the tortellini and transfer them to a large bowl.
Using the same pot of boiling water, blanch the broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the salami slices and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic becomes fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften and release their juices.
Turn off the heat and stir in the blanched broccoli, cooked tortellini, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together to evenly coat with the olive oil and garlic.
Transfer the warm salad to a serving bowl and top with crispy salami, grated Parmesan, and chopped fresh basil.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
