Ingredients: 1 pkg (20 oz) Italian Classics Cheese Tortellini, cooked per pkg directions, cooled
1 sweet red pepper, cored, seeded, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
1 red onion, peeled, thinly sliced (about 3/4 cup)
1 bunch (about 1/2 lb) asparagus, trimmed, cut in 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons basting oil or olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 zucchini, trimmed, 1/4-inch dice (about 2 cups)
1 container (1 pt) Grape Tomatoes, halved
1 jar (6.7 oz) Italian Classics Basil Pesto Sauce (I always get an extra jar, as the salad absorbs it)
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco Pepper Sauce
15 Basil leaves, finely sliced
3 tablespoons Italian Classics Pine Nuts, toasted

Directions: |
Directions:Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Toss pepper, onions, asparagus, and 1 Tbsp basting oil in large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Arrange in single layer on parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Roast, 10-12 min; turning halfway through. Remove from baking sheet; set aside.
Toss zucchini and remaining basting oil in large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Arrange in single layer on parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Roast, 5-7 min, until tender, but not browned. Add zucchini to roasted veggies; chill 1 hour.
Add tomatoes, pesto, Tabasco sauce, basil, pine nuts, roasted veggies, and cooked tortellini to large bowl; gently combine. Season with salt and pepper. Serve chilled.
As I put up top, I always get an extra jar of pesto, as the pasta absorbs the pesto. I have tried with pesto and dried tomatoes - delicious with either...
