Tortellini Skewers

• 10-oz package refrigerated tortellini
• 1 cup 1-inch pieces of red and yellow pepper
• Sixteen 10-inch bamboo skewers
• 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese

1. Prep time: 5 Minutes
2. Cooking time: About 25 Minutes
3. Cook the tortellini according to the package directions; drain, and then let them cool to room temperature. Thread 3 of the cooked tortellini and 3 pieces of pepper onto each skewer, alternating pieces and colors.
4. On a plate or cutting board, use a pastry brush or a small, clean paintbrush to brush each tortellini lightly with olive oil.
5. Sprinkle parmesan cheese over each skewer (hold it over a bowl to catch any cheese that doesn't stick). Arrange the finished skewers on a platter and serve.
6. How kids can help: All steps except the cooking and draining of tortellini.
