Step 1

We prefer the more delicate texture and flavor of fresh tortellini (found in the refrigerated section of most supermarkets); however, frozen tortellini can be substituted.

Step 2

Bring 4 quarts water to boil in large pot.

Step 3

Meanwhile, whisk oil, lemon juice, basil, shallot, garlic, salt, and pepper together in large bowl.

Step 4

Add pasta and 1 tablespoon salt to boiling water and cook, stirring often, until tender. Drain pasta, shaking off excess water.

Step 5

Add pasta and tomatoes to bowl with dressing and toss. Cover and refrigerate until cooled, about 15 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in arugula, Parmesan, and pine nuts and season with salt and pepper to taste just before serving.
