RECIPE BY: sarra

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.

Posted on: May 6, 2008

Ingredients

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

    1. 1
      Prepare the tortellini according to the packages directions. Add a little fresh water to the cooked tortellini to keep them from sticking together.
    2. 2
      Thread 24 4-inch skewers with 3 tortellini each. Arrange the skewers on a platter and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the parsley.
    3. 3
      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.
