Ingredients

3 (250 g) packages cheese tortellini
½ pound pepperoni, chopped
½ pound provolone cheese, chopped
2 (6.5 ounce) jars marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 (6 ounce) can sliced black olives
½ (8 ounce) bottle Italian-style salad dressing, or more to taste
1 (.7 ounce) package dry Italian salad dressing mix (such as Good Seasons®)
ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Cook tortellini at a boil, stirring occasionally, until the pasta floats to the top and the filling is hot, 6 to 8 minutes; drain. Rinse tortellini with cold water until completely cooled; drain and transfer to a large bowl.
Stir pepperoni, provolone cheese, artichoke hearts, black olives, Italian-style salad dressing, dry Italian dressing mix, and black pepper with the tortellini. Add more Italian dressing just before serving, if desired.
