Memorial Day is just around the corner!  With all of those end-of-school parties and weddings, etc. etc. -how could you have time to plan for a special Memorial Day meal?  Well we have you covered for a very simple and yummy recipe to try for the day, Tortellini Kabobs.

Tortellini Kabobs

Ingredients:

  • Cheese tri-color tortellini
  • Grape tomatoes
  • Fresh mozzarella balls marinated in oil and herbs
  • Wood skewers
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Cook the pasta according to the directions on the package.
  2. Layout all ingredients on the counter for easy assembly.
  3. Start inserting ingredients on the skewer -first the tortellini, then the mozzarella cheese and last the tomato.  Do this twice, for a total of 6 pieces per kabob.
  4. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Drizzle some of the mozzarella balls marinade on top of the kabobs. (Note: If all you can find is mozzarella balls in water then you can make your own marinade by mixing 1/2 cup of olive oil with 5 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, salt and pepper to taste.)
  6. You’re done.  Wasn’t that easy?  Enjoy!
