How to Make Tortellini Pasta Salad

  1. Step 1

    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.

  2. Step 2

    In a small bowl, whisk the broth and flour. In a skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until hot. Add the garlic and onion and cook, stirring, until onion is softened, about 2 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add the broth mixture to the skillet and bring to a boil. Cook the sauce, stirring occasionally, until it thickens, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in cheese and parsley.

  4. Step 4

    Add vegetables and tortellini to the boiling water; return the water to a simmer and cook until the vegetables and tortellini are tender, 3 to 5 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Drain pasta and vegetables into a colander; then add to the skillet with the sauce and stir to coat.
