Ingredients

8 ounces mini tortellini pasta
8 ounces BelGioioso Fresh Mozzarella cheese
1 leaf Fresh basil leaves
12 Grape tomatoes
8 wooden skewers
2 tablespoons Pesto dipping sauce, prepared

Steps:

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil; stir in tortellini and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini float to the top and the filling is hot, about 3 minutes. Let cool completely.
If necessary, cut fresh mozzarella into 1-inch pieces. Thread Fresh Mozzarella, fresh basil leaves, tortellini and tomatoes onto skewers. Serve with prepared pesto as a dipping sauce.
