Directions

1. Step1

   Bring a large covered pot of salted water to boil over high heat. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add veggie blend and pine nuts. Cook for 5 minutes or until veggies are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. 

2. Step2

   While veggies cook, for dressing, whisk together lemon zest and juice, mustard, honey, lemon pepper, dried basil, salt, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Slowly add remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil, whisking continuously; set aside.

3. Step3

   Add tortellini to boiling water; cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until al dente. Drain; rinse under cold running water to stop cooking.

4. Step4

   Toss together tortellini, dressing, vegetable mixture, tomatoes, Parmesan cheese and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil in a large bowl until coated. Garnish with basil leaves, if desired.
