Made these for a drinks and nibbles party, TRUE! As wanted something that looked impressive, could be made ahead too! OK, am SURE the recipe is more than good as is..as initially was for me, Be I just couldn't let things be, ok, use fresh Latina Pasta tortellini al dente, As if overcooked, could not work (in my opinion) on the day! I put 3 tortelli on 5 inch skewer as had on hand yesterday, And well, um, cheated and bought store bought roasted capsicum (pepper), basil and cashew dip, MADE MY DAY! After making them, draining, I place individually on a cutter board, TRUE! Then covered with damp clothe until I needed to prepare them (an hour in advance of the party) too! Easier to skew when are coolish, Honestly for entertaining, don't give this recipe a miss! I drizzle sauce over when first guest did arrive...yes! Want to know HOW many were left? GUESS! LOL! I place on bed of greens with more sauce in a square dish, If something simple, looks good...than this is your recipe wish... THANKS!
