trusty memoir: I brought these tortellini skewers to a friend's college party a couple years ago because I'm that girl. I felt like a weirdo at first (hi,I brought beer and homemade pesto!), but when every last skewer was gone by the end of the night, and I knew I'd made the legal choice. I still love to originate this appetizer during Summer because it's so easy to originate,easy to transport, and perfect for feeding a crowd. I recommend serving the skewers on a large platter alongside a bowl of homemade pesto for dipping, and with pesto drizzled on top.
