Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and chop into bite-sized pieces.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the frozen cheese tortellini and cook according to the package instructions, about 3-5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, garlic powder, oregano, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Whisk until smooth.
- In a large bowl, combine cooled tortellini, chopped bacon, pepperoncini, diced red onion, sliced tomatoes, and grated Parmesan cheese. Drizzle dressing over top and fold together until evenly coated.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld.
- Before serving, stir gently and serve cold or at room temperature.
