Ingredients:

• 1 16 oz package prepared tortellini
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 2 Tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
• 2 teaspoons dried basil
• 1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 2 medium red peppers cut into 24 cubes
• 48 black pitted olives
• 1 pound smoked mozzarella cut into 48 cubes
• 24 small skewers

Method

Prepare tortellini according to package directions. Drain and set aside. In a medium size mixing bowl combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, dried basil, crushed red pepper, black pepper and salt. Mix until well-combined. Add tortellini, cubed red peppers, olives and cheese. Marinate for 3-6 hours. To prepare the skewers, add an olive, a cheese cube, a cubed red pepper, a tortellini, another cheese cube and another olive. Repeat until you've made 24 skewers.

Notes: I serve the Tortellini Kabobs at family events and, as appetizer when we have a dinner party. It's very easy to adjust for larger parties or smaller gatherings.

Number of servings: 24
