Steps:
- In a small saucepan, over medium heat, heat the wine just until warm.
- Add raisins; let stand for 15-30 minutes to plump.
- In a pot of boiling salted water cook pasta until tender (12-15 minutes or according to package directions).
- Using a colander, drain pasta; rinse well under cold water to quick chill.
- Drain again.
- Drain raisins, reserving wine.
- Set wine aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss together pasta and raisins.
- In a screw-top jar, combine reserved white wine with olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, shallots, mustard, salt, and pepper.
- Put lid on jar and shake well.
- Pour dressing over pasta; toss to coat.
- Serve warm or at room temperature or cover and chill for up to 24 hours.
- Just before serving toss with raisins and nuts (if the nuts are mixed in too soon, they won't stay crunchy).
