- To assemble the skewers, thread one of each onto a skewer: tortellini, mozzarella ball, cherry tomato, olive and peppadew pepper. And then add a piece of soppressata folded into a size approximately as big as the other ingredients, then a half piece of mortadella also folded to match the size of the other ingredients and finally with a folded basil leaf. Make more skewers using the remaining ingredients. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

TORTELLINI ANTIPASTO KEBABS
I made these for my annual Academy Awards party last year! They were a hit! A bit tedious and time consuming, but you make them the day before you serve. Not exactly sure on the actual servings, but 48 kebabs sounds about right.
