Peel the pearl onions quickly and easily by dropping them into the boiling water before cooking the pasta. After a few minutes, remove the onions from the water, and the skins will slip right off.
2 1/2 cups uncooked radiatore (nugget) pasta (8 ounces)
6 ounces whole green beans
18 pearl onions
1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 large yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1/3 cup olive oil or vegetable
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh or 1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
Cook pasta as directed on package; drain. Rinse with cold water; drain. Place beans and pearl onions in 1 inch water in 2-quart saucepan. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered 10 to 15 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain. Immediately rinse with cold water; drain. Mix remaining ingredients. Place pasta, beans and onions and peppers in 8x8 inch-baking dish, keeping each item separate. Pour dressing mixture over pasta and vegetables. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours but no longer than 8 hours, spooning marinade over mixture occasionally. Remove pasta and vegetables from marinade with slotted spoon; discard marinade. Arrange pasta and vegetables on shallow serving platter. Serve with toothpicks.
