Pasta Shish Kebab

prep time:: 20 min

Serves 24

A great nibbler for casual parties. Also, you can skip putting these on kebabs and serve it as a salad. I served this at Mike’s 25th birthday party. The next morning when we woke up it was the best hang-over cure!

ingredients

1 (12 to 16 ounce) package of frozen tortellini
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
1-2 cloves of fresh chopped garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons of oregano
1/8 teaspoon of black ground pepper
1 sliced or cubed red pepper
1 sliced or cubed green pepper
1 (8 ounce) package cubed mozzarella cheese

directions

1
Cook tortellini according to package directions. Do not overcook.
2
To make dressing, mix lemon juice, olive oil, parsley, garlic, oregano, and black pepper in a small bowl.
3
Immediately place hot pasta into dressing so flavors will be absorbed.
4
Add peppers and cheese and marinate for 24 hours (I rarely marinate this long).
5
Either serve as a salad or place one of each ingredient on skewers for hors d’oeuvres.
6
Refrigerate until ready to serve.
