Primavera Tortellini Salad
  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the tortellini in the boiling water until slightly firm and the filling is heated through, 5 to 7 minutes; drain.

  2. 2

    Combine the cooked tortellini, tomatoes, broccoli, yellow bell pepper, Parmesan cheese, and pepperoni in a large serving bowl. Pour in 1 cup Italian dressing and toss to coat. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. If the salad seems dry, stir in the remaining 1/4 cup Italian dressing before serving.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
