Follow The Directions
01
Step
6 mins
In a large pot, bring lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add tortellini and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until they float to the top (approximately 5-6 minutes).
02
Step
1 mins
Drain the cooked tortellini and immediately rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
03
Step
2 mins
In a large bowl, gently toss the tortellini, cherry tomatoes, and pesto until evenly coated.
04
Step
2 mins
Thread one tortellini and one cherry tomato onto each toothpick. Arrange the skewers on a serving tray. Chill until ready to serve.
For best results, use fresh, high-quality pesto. Homemade pesto is ideal, but store-bought works well too.
Feel free to experiment with different types of tortellini, such as spinach and ricotta or mushroom filled.
If you're preparing these skewers ahead of time, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator to prevent the tortellini from drying out.
A balsamic glaze drizzle adds a touch of sweetness and complexity to the final presentation.

Apr 22, 2025Be careful not to overcook the tortellini, otherwise, they will become mushy.
