Tortelloni Skewers Directions
Get readyAssemble ingredients.
Prepare six (6) heads (seven, if you are using the marinade) of Baked Garlic (you will have some extra cloves) and the Parmesan Lemon Dip.
Prepare pasta
Bring large pot of salted water to a boil.
Cook tortelloni until just tender, following the package instructions; drain. Sprinkle the pasta with a small amount of olive oil to prevent sticking.
If serving warm, place two tortelloni on six-inch (6-inch) skewers; pile skewers on serving tray garnished with six heads of Baked Garlic, placing two beside a small bowl of Parmesan Lemon Dip. Serve immediately.
If marinating the tortelloni, continue with remaining steps.
Marinate the tortelloni (optional)
Prepare the Rosemary Garlic Marinade / Vinaigrette. Set aside.
Gently place the cooked tortelloni in a large (9- x 11-inch / 2-quart capacity works well) flat, covered storage container. Pour over the marinade and toss lightly to coat each piece; cover and marinate for at least four to five (4 - 5) hours, gently turning occasionally. See Notes below.
Assemble skewers
If using the Italian ham, neatly roll the long side of individual slices of the Citterio® Rosmarino. Then, slice the into 1.5-inch sections.
Remove tortelloni from the marinade and drain on several layers of thick paper towels. Place one tortelloni on six-inch (6-inch) skewer, followed by one rolled section of the Rosmarino, and a second tortelloni; repeat until you have used all of the pasta.
Serve
Arrange skewers on platter or tray garnished with six heads of Baked Garlic, placing two beside a small bowl of Parmesan Lemon Dip. Serve at room temperature.
Tortelloni Skewers Notes
- Tortellini is smaller and can be easily substituted in this recipe; however, use shorter picks.
- I prepared the Marinade the night before serving the skewers and set it aside for the flavors to merge.
- For a more pronounced rosemary flavor, marinate the Tortolloni in the refrigerator for forty-eight (48) hours before serving.
- Since pastas vary, always pay close attention to the texture; avoid the pasta getting mushy while marinating.
