Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces Cheese tortellini
- 10 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 10 pieces Mini mozzarella balls (bocconcini)
- 20 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 10 pieces Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 8–10 minutes. Drain and let them cool completely.
While the tortellini are cooling, rinse and dry the cherry tomatoes and basil leaves. Drain the mozzarella balls if they are packed in water.
In a small bowl, toss the cooled tortellini with olive oil, salt, and black pepper to lightly season them.
Assemble the skewers by threading one cheese tortellini, followed by one basil leaf, one cherry tomato, another basil leaf, and one mozzarella ball. Repeat the pattern until you've filled all the skewers or used up your ingredients.
Once all the skewers are assembled, drizzle them with balsamic glaze for a touch of sweetness and extra flavor.
Arrange the skewers on a platter and serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
