Summertime Italian Tortellini Skewers – Easy Party Appetizer

July 22, 2015

Delicious Tortellini Skewers are a perfect party appetizer that is easy to assemble and perfect for parties and barbecues.


How many Utah folks are out there? I’m sure some of you are from here and I’m also sure some of you have some amazing plans for the Pioneer Day this Friday. It’s quite a day and I know lots of people having barbecues and parties. I brought these Italian tortellini skewers to our Wine Club’s 4th of July party and they were a hit. They would be great to bring to a Pioneer Day celebrations this weekend.

I’m originally from California, so Pioneer Day was all new to me. For those of you outside of Utah, Pioneer Day celebrates the entry of Brigham Young and the first group of Mormon pioneers into the Salt Lake Valley on July 24, 1847, where the Latter-day Saints settled after being forced from other locations in the eastern United States. On this day, Utah sees it’s share of parades, and other activities and a lot of folks have the day off. There is even a “Days of 47” rodeo that I have attended in the past. There is fun for the whole family.

And let’s not forget fireworks. It seems like there is celebrating one thing after another every night in July. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good fireworks display. It’s my dogs that don’t and they wind up barking a lot. Poor things!

Whether you’re celebrating the 4th, 24th or just having a fun summer barbecue, these tortellini skewers are easy to make and so good. I’m taking them to my next party.

The tortellini skewers dissappeared in a snap at our Wine Club 4th of July event, so next time I’ll have to make a double batch. What I love about them is the easy assembly. With the exception of the tortellini, there is no cooking required. Keeps the kitchen nice and cool.
