TORTELLINI SKEWERS



Tortellini Skewers image

I sampled a similar appetizer at a party that inspired this simple idea. It would be easy to add additional foods to the skewers, based on your preferences. Use your favorite store bought or homemade pesto sauce!

Provided by Starrynews

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 20m

Yield 10 skewers

Number Of Ingredients 4

30 cheese tortellini, prepared according to package directions
1/4 cup pesto sauce
5 sun-dried tomatoes, oil-packed
10 medium-length wooden skewers

Steps:

  • Combine tortellini with pesto sauce and mix well.
  • Cut each tomato into 4 strips.
  • Place one tortellini onto a skewer, followed by a piece of sundried tomato. (I found it most effective to hook each piece of sundried tomato to the skewer twice).
  • Add another tortellini and tomato piece, ending with a third tortellini.
  • Chill until ready to serve.

  • Cook the tortellini according to package directions, being careful not to overcook (it will fall apart when you try to skewer it; you may need to very slightly undercook it.) Drain and run cold water over the tortellini to stop the cooking and to chill the pasta.
  • Thread 1 piece of tortellini followed by a tomato, cheese ball, pepperoni slice, and an olive, and repeat (for small appetizers, use 6″ sticks and only do the pattern once). Place the skewers on a serving platter or tray. If not serving immediately, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Whisk together the pesto and Italian dressing. Immediately before serving, drizzle the skewers with the pesto/Italian dressing mixture.
  • If you have leftover bits and pieces that didn’t make it onto the skewer (or you got tired of skewering), toss them together in a bowl, drizzle with the dressing mixture, and serve like a salad.
