Share:
Ingredients
- 16 ounces cheese tortellini
- 6 lices Bacon
- 4 cups broccoli florets
The Vinaigrette:
- ¼ cup white wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 ½ teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 6 large basil leaves chiffonaded (rolled and thinly sliced)
Instructions
- Set a large pot of salted water over high heat and bring to a boil. Cook tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and immediately rinse with cold water. Drain again. Transfer to a large serving bowl.
- In a large nonstick skillet set over medium heat, cook bacon until crunchy. Set aside on a piece of paper towel to drain. When cool, crumble the bacon (not too small) and reserve.
- Pour out all but 2 teaspoons of the bacon grease from the pan, increase the heat to medium-high, and add the broccoli florets. Saute until the broccoli is tender-crisp, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir into tortellini.
The Vinaigrette:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together white wine vinegar, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper. While whisking constantly, slow pour in olive oil until combined.
- Pour the vinaigrette over the tortellini and gently toss. Stir the basil into the pasta salad. Serve.
