Ingredients
- 1 (20oz.) spinach and cheese tortellini package
- 1 cup cherry tomato
- 1/2 cup pepper jack cheese cubed, plus more as needed
- 16 skewers
For the pesto
- 3 cups spinach fresh baby
- 1 large bunch basil fresh
- 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- 1/4 cup pine nuts
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lemon juiced
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 Tbsp. garlic minced
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to boil and cook the tortellini according to package directions. Once cooked, drain and let cold water run over tortellini to stop the cooking process. You do not want your tortellini to be mushy and fall off of the skewers.
- In a food processor, combine all ingredients for the pesto and blend until smooth. Add more olive oil or seasonings if desired to get a consistency you prefer.
- Layer the ingredients on the skewers. I layer in this order: tortellini, tomato, cheese, tomato, tortellini. Once completed, place on a serving platter with the lemon spinach pesto in the center for dipping.
Notes
- Add on salami if you'd like too and other veggies like cucumber. You can use any cheese you like! Cheddar, jack, mozzarella etc.
