Skewered Cheese Tortellini With Garlic-Parmesan Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

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

Preparation

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.
