bring water to a boil for tortellini. meanwhile, chop your veggies and add to a bowl. you can also use whatever you have on hand: canned corn, brocolli, kalamata olives, garbanzo beans, red onion, etc.
mix all veggies and herbs with italian dressing. use enough dressing to coat and marinate the veggies.
boil tortellini until done, approx 8 min. to quickly cool your pasta and sidestep cooling in the fridge, fill a colander with ice and drain your pasta over the ice. mix pasta with ice until ice melts. pasta will be significantly cooled.
