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.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h5m

Yield 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 package frozen cheese tortellini
1 package sliced pepperoni
1 jar black olives
1 jar pitted green olives
1 (8 ounce) package cheese (of your choice, I use the white pepperjack for a bit of heat)
1 bottle Italian dressing
1 box toothpick (the kind with the handles)

Steps:

  • Prepare frozen tortellini according to package directions.
  • Drain and cool.
  • Get out a plastic bowl to store the kebabs.
  • Cut your block of cheese into small cubes.
  • On each toothpick, place 1 tortellini, 1 black olive, 1 block of cheese, 1 slice of pepperoni (may cut in half or fold if too large), and 1 green olive.
  • You can vary the order in which you place the ingredients.
  • Place all of the toothpicks in the container and pour the Italian dressing over all.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight to marinate.
  • When ready to serve, take them out of the container and lay them on a pretty lettuce lined platter.

Tips:

  • For a vegetarian version of these kebabs, omit the salami and pepperoni and add extra vegetables, such as roasted red peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms.
  • If you don't have wooden skewers, you can use metal skewers or even toothpicks.
  • To make the kebabs even more flavorful, marinate the tortellini in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs before assembling.
  • These kebabs are best served immediately, but they can also be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours. To reheat, simply place the kebabs on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until warmed through.

Conclusion:

Tortellini antipasto kebabs are a fun and easy appetizer that is perfect for any party or gathering. They are also a great way to use up leftover tortellini. With a variety of meats, cheeses, and vegetables, these kebabs are sure to please everyone.
