1/2 cup Coarsely chopped walnuts

Dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, red wine

Place in a large bowl and toss with 3/4 cup of the dressing. Add
tomatoes, yellow pepper, raisins and walnuts. Toss pasta and other
ingredients again and set aside.

Twenty minutes before serving, add the lightly blanched snow peas,
green beans, scallions, zucchini, black olives and 3/4 cup slivered
fresh basil. Toss together and adjust seasonings. Just before
serving, add additional dressing to moisten the salad. Then toss
with Parmesan cheese and garnish with reserved 2 tb. slivered basil
leaves.
