Skewered Cheese Tortellini With Garlic-Parmesan Sauce image

I haven't made this recipe yet, but I'd like to try it, it's from the Vegetarian Times Complete Cookbook. The description says: This fail-proof recipe takes a minimal amount of effort to prepare. Just purchase ready-made tortellini, cook and thread on skewers.

Time 25m

Yield 24 skewers, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

72 cheese tortellini
6 tablespoons parsley, minced fresh
1/2 cup virgin olive oil
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
3 garlic cloves, minced
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare the tortellini according to the packages directions. Add a little fresh water to the cooked tortellini to keep them from sticking together.
  • Thread 24 4-inch skewers with 3 tortellini each. Arrange the skewers on a platter and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the parsley.
  • In a small mixing bowl, mix together the remaining parsley, oil, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper. If desired, puree the sauce in a blender for 1 minute. With a pastry brush, brush the sauce on the tortellini. Reserve the remaining sauce to dip the skewers into the serving.
