- Fresh Basil Leaves: 18
- Mozzarella Bocconcini Balls/Pearls: 18

- Toothpicks
Instructions
- Boil the pasta: Cook the tortellini according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse the noodles with cold water until they are cold.
- Assemble the skewers: Thread a piece of tortellini, a tomato, a basil leaf, and a bocconcini ball onto a toothpick and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Repeat these steps for each toothpick and drizzle with balsamic glaze (optional).
Notes
Avoid overcooking the tortellini otherwise it may be mushy and difficult to thread onto a toothpick.
Rinsing the tortellini with cold water until the noodles are cold to the touch is an important step to prevent them from overcooking.
Consider patting the ingredients dry with a paper towel if they're wet to avoid a messy presentation once you plate the skewers.
If the tortellini noodles start sticking to each other, drizzle them with olive oil to prevent sticking.
