By request, below is my famous Benamati Tortellini Skewers. So easy, and perfect for game day!
1 (20 oz) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
2 tbsp Wisconsin 26 Benamati Blend Seasoning Dip Mix
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
24 fresh basil leaves
12 oz fresh mozzarella balls (ciliegine), halved
1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes
24 small skewers or cocktail picks
Flaky sea salt, to finish
Instructions
Cook tortellini according to package directions. Drain and let cool for 5 minutes — you want them warm but not steaming.
While the tortellini rests, whisk together the Benamati Blend and olive oil in a large bowl. Let it sit for 2–3 minutes so the herbs bloom.
Toss the warm tortellini in the seasoned oil until evenly coated.
To assemble: thread a basil leaf (folded), one tortellini, a mozzarella half, and a cherry tomato onto each skewer.
Arrange on a platter, drizzle with any remaining Benamati oil from the bowl, and finish with a pinch of flaky salt.
