Notes
Marinate ahead: Let the cheese and tortellini soak for at least a few hours for best flavor.
Use short skewers: They’re easier to serve and eat at gatherings.
Dry ingredients before skewering: Prevent soggy skewers by patting excess marinade off.
Serve chilled or at room temperature: Both options work depending on the event.
