Tortellini Skewers And Sundried Tomato Sauce

• 72 each cheese tortellini
• 6 tablespoons parsley -- fresh, minced
• 3 tablespoons basil, fresh, minced
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese -- grated
• 1/3 cup lemon juice -- fresh
• 3 cloves garlic -- minced or pressed
• 1/4 cup sundried tomatoes - hydrated and finely minced
• 1/8 teaspoon - cayenne pepper
• salt and pepper -- to taste

1. Prepare the tortellini as directed. Add a little fresh water to the cooked tortellini to keep them from sticking together. Thread 24 4-inch skewers with 3 tortellini each.
2. Arrange the skewers on a platter and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the parsley and 1 tablespoon of the basil.
3. In a small mixing bowl, mix together the remaining parsley, basil, oil, Parmesan, lemon juice, garlic, sundried tomatoes, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. If desired, puree the sauce in a blender for 1 minute. With a pastry brush, brush the sauce on the tortellini. Reserve the remaining sauce to dip the skewers into when serving.
