Notes
- Take care not to overcook the tortellini, it should be al dente. If it's overcooked it can become too soft and break on the skewers.
- Try adding different ingredients, artichokes or olives are both an amazing addition!
- Alternate the ingredients on the skewers to create a visually appealing and flavorful combination. Consider colors and textures when arranging the ingredients.
- For best results, chill the assembled Antipasto skewers in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- When storing, keep these appetizer skewers covered with plastic wrap so that the pasta doesn't dry out.
