Tortellini Pasta Skewers Appetizer Recipe
These tortellini pasta skewers are festive, easy to make and delicious! I buy tri-colored cheese tortellini, so they are not only festive but vegetarian. These are easy to prep on a boat for your next dock party and hearty enough for a dinner crowd. During the holidays, I want my appetizers to be festive and go with the theme. That’s easy to do with a vegetable platter.
I like to buy the Three Bridges Family Size Rainbow Tortellini. You can make these about two hours before serving and refrigerate until you are ready to serve.
This weekend I am going to change up the recipe a bit and add a slice of salami, provolone cheese and an olive to the skewers. Anti-pasta salad on a stick! Yum. If you find other ways to make these, please share with us. Enjoy!
