Easy Pesto Tortellini Skewers
So simple, just boil the tortellini and toss with store-bought pesto. (I love the Kirkland brand pesto from Costco). Thread onto a bamboo skewer the cheese of your choice (here I did provolone). Then add a cherry tomato and tortellini, top with more pesto and you’re done!
Moreover, this appetizer is perfect for social events where you are serving cocktails. Guests will love that they can have a drink in one hand and be able to hold their appetizer with the other! Additionally, these are totally customizable. Use whatever cheese you’d like (mozzarella balls or white cheddar would be great). And whatever flavor tortellini you prefer. Love that you can use store-bought pesto too!

However, what to do with that leftover pesto? Serve a bit alongside the skewers and freeze the rest in ice cube trays. Then when you need pesto to add to pasta, just pop one out and you’re set!
