I made this for a Christmas party. It was a hit! Even my kids love it and they were excited to be able to help prepare it. I put down 30 minutes of prep time, but it doesn't include 4 hours for marinating.
Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) package cheese tortellini
20 green olives
20 black olives
10 slices salami
20 slices pepperoni
1 (16 ounce) package muenster cheese or 1 (16 ounce) package mozzarella cheese
40 toothpicks
1 (16 ounce) bottle italian dressing
Directions:
1. Cook tortellini according to directions on package. Drain well and cool completely.
2. Place tortellini and olives in bowl. Pour in dressing and mix. Marinate at least 4 hours (the longer it marinates, the stronger the flavor).
3. Drain tortellini and olives well.
4. Cut salami into quarters.
5. Cut pepperoni in half.
6. Cut 40 small chunks of cheese
7. On a toothpick put: 1 olive, 1 salami, 1 tortellini, 1 pepperoni, and one chunk cheese.
8. Repeat process until all is used up.
9. Refrigerate until ready to use.
