I made this for Christmas Eve. I got the recipe out of Southern Living December 2011 magazine! Ingredients:
1 (9 ounce) cheese filled tortellini |
3 cups grape tomatoes, halved |
mozzarella cheese, balls fresh and small |
60 (6 inch) wooden skewers |
basil vinaigrette |
1/2 cup white balsamic vinegar |
1 teaspoon salt |
2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil |
6 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped |
Directions:
1. Prepare tortellini according to package directions. Rinse under cold water.
2. Thread 1 tomato half, I cheese all, another tomato half, and 1 tortellini onto each skewer. Place skewers in a 13 X 9 inch baking dish.
3. Whisk together vinegar and salt. Gradually add oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly until smooth. Stir in basil and ground pepper to taste.
4. Pour vinaigrette over skewers, turning to coat.
5. Cover and chill 2 hours.
6. Transfer skewers to a serving platter, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Discard any remaining vinaigrette.
