Ingredients

2 (12 ounce) packages refrigerated cheese tortellini
8 medium carrots, sliced 1/4-inch thick
4 cups broccoli florets
4 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
2 cloves minced garlic
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup grated Romano cheese
¼ cup grated Asiago cheese
1 ½ cups Italian salad dressing, or to taste
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Cholula®)

Steps:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook tortellini in the boiling water until tender yet firm to the bite, 6 to 7 minutes. Drain well and transfer to a large bowl.
Add carrots, broccoli, green onions, and garlic to the tortellini. Sprinkle Parmesan, Romano, and Asiago cheeses over top. Combine salad dressing and hot sauce in a small bowl; pour over the salad and toss gently to combine, being careful not to break the tortellini.
Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.
