Italian Tortellini Skewers with Pesto

Your favorite cheese-stuffed pasta and fresh, fragrant Simply Pesto® star in this fun fingerfood recipe. If that wasn’t enough, we skewered them up with juicy tomatoes, slices of Genoa salami, creamy mozzarella balls and fresh basil leaves

INGREDIENTS

• 1 (8.8-ounce) package DeLallo Three-Cheese Tortellini Pasta
• 2 tablespoons DeLallo Simply Pesto® Sauce - Traditional Basil
• 2 tablespoons DeLallo Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes
• 6 ounces DeLallo Sliced Genoa Salami
• 8 ounces fresh mozzarella balls (ciligiene)
• 1 cup fresh basil leaves

DIRECTIONS

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook tortellini according to package instruction. Drain.
2. In the meantime, combine pesto and olive oil in a large mixing bowl. Add tortellini to the bowl and carefully stir to coat pasta. Allow tortellini to cool skewering.
3. Gently thread ingredients onto skewers. Be creative! Create smaller skewers for appetizers (one of each ingredient per skewer) or load them up in your favorite order.
4. Save a few basil leaves to chop and sprinkle over skewers as a garnish.
