In a glass style bowl, mix lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon zest, and salt and pepper to taste.
Ina small skilet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil. This may seem like a lot, but this oil is part of the dressing for the finished tortellini. Add just a small sprinkle of salt to help draw out the moisture in the onion. You are not trying to brown the onion, just soften them.
