Happy Memorial Day: Tortellini pasta salad

 - 1 bag Frozen Cheese Tortellini

-  Bow tie Pasta (I use about 1/2 - 3/4 of the box, depending on how big the crowd is)

- 2 cups Broccoli, chopped

- 1 Yellow Bell Pepper, chopped

- 1 Red bell pepper, chopped

- 1 can sliced olives

- Grated & Shredded Parmesan Cheese

- Balsamic Vinaigrette Salad Dressing

*org recipe called for artichokes and sun dried tomatoes too, but I might have forgot to get them at the store haha.

Cook noodles per pkg. and while cooking chop other ingredients. Cool pasta and toss in about 1/3 cup dressing. Add peppers, broccoli, olives and chill in frig for 4-6 hours. Add cheese and more dressing to liking before serving!
