Pasta and beans - they're classic combination in Italian cooking; savory and sweet all together. This quick pasta salad is based on that pairing. The dressing uses a basil-infused oil; look for it among the flavored and nut oils at your supper market. Best of all, the salad can be stored in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to four days; ready when you are.
