• Add another tortellini and tomato piece, ending with a third tortellini.
• Chill until ready to serve.

MARINATED TORTELLINI, SUN-BLUSHED TOMATO AND OLIVE SKEWERS

Steps:

• Cook the tortellini in boiling salted water according to the packet instructions. Once they are cooked, drain and rinse well under cold water to cool them down quickly. Place in a bowl and mix with the marinade ingredients. This can now be covered and left to marinate for about 30 minutes.
• Once marinated, thread one tortellini, a sun-blushed tomato and an olive onto each skewer. Season with a twist of black pepper and arrange on a platter. Cover and keep at room temperature until needed.
