Tortellini Skewers

Starrynews's Note:

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!

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 10 skewers

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

Directions:

1. Combine tortellini with pesto sauce and mix well.
2. Cut each tomato into 4 strips.
3. 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).
4. Add another tortellini and tomato piece, ending with a third tortellini.
5. Chill until ready to serve.

This was a very simple, yet filling, dish. I had some roma tomatoes that were getting too ripe so I made my own version of sundried tomatoes. I sliced them into approximately 3-4 slices lengthwise and placed them on a sheet pan with a light coating of oil. I added a thin layer of olive oil on top and seasoned with herb de provence, salt, pepper and some balsamic vinegar. I baked them at 325 degrees F. for about an hour. They were delicious with the tortellini and pesto. Thanks for a great recipe that can be served as a appetizer or at brunch/lunch.
