This is a great pasta salad with cheese tortellini and sweet basil. Plan ahead, because it should chill for a couple hours to allow flavors to blend.

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 lb uncooked dry cheese-filled egg tortellini
1/3 cup olive oil or vegetable oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil (or 2 tsp dried basil)
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 green onion, chopped
1 medium carrot, peeled and sliced on the diagonal

Directions

1
Cook tortellini as directed on package.
2
Drain and rinse with cold water.
3
Mix remaining ingredients in a medium bowl.
4
Add tortellini and toss until well combined.
5
Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
6
Toss again before serving with additional parmesan cheese.

Very tasty. It made a lot, but that just meant that there were leftovers for a few lunches. Thanks for the post.

This was a great salad. I didn't use onion, but added chopped green bell pepper, crumbled feta cheese and instead of plain olive oil I used basil flavored oil. I also added butter lettuce leaves. I let it marinate all day and I ate it for dinner last night...it was wonderful! Thanks for a great recipe...

I made this as a take to work lunch for me and my husband. We both loved it and thought the dressing was tasty. We both loved the flavor of the fresh basil, too. I ate mine along with a green salad. This salad is a good idea for a light lunch. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
