Step 1: Cook the Tortellini - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add tortellini and cook according to package instructions (3-5 minutes) until they float. Drain and rinse under cold water.

Step 2: Prepare the Romaine - Chop the romaine into bite-sized pieces and place in a large mixing bowl, ensuring it's clean and dry.

Step 3: Dress the Lettuce - Drizzle Caesar dressing over the romaine and toss until well coated.

Step 4: Combine Ingredients - Fold in the cooled tortellini gently with a spatula, merging the dressing and pasta.

Step 5: Add Cheese and Season - Sprinkle grated Parmesan and fresh ground black pepper. Toss lightly to distribute.

Step 6: Chill and Serve - Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes. Serve chilled, garnished with more Parmesan and black pepper.
