Ingredients

  • 9 ounces of refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 1 pint of cherry tomatoes
  • 8 ounces of mozzarella balls or bocconcini
  • Fresh basil leaves

Balsamic Reduction

  • 1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon of honey

Instructions

  • Cook the tortellini according to the package directions, making sure to follow the shorter cooktime.
  • Drain the tortellini and let it cool.
  • Thread a cherry tomato onto a toothpick or wooden skewer.
  • Follow it with a mozzarella ball and a rolled basil leaf.
  • Add a piece of tortellini to the other end. Repeat until you've made all the tortellini skewers.
  • Make the balsamic reduction by whisking the balsamic vinegar and honey together in a small saucepan over medium low heat.
  • Let it come to a slow simmer, stirring until the mixture reduces enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Drizzle the balsamic reduction over the caprese tortellini skewers.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

This recipe will make roughly 25-30 skewers depending on how many pieces of tortellini, how many tomatoes are in the pint, and how many mini mozzarella balls in the container. It's roughly 25 cherry tomatoes in a pint but it may be more or less depending on the size of the tomatoes.
