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.
