Tortellini Appetizers:
you'll need:
1 pound container of Butolini cheese tortellini (in the refridgerated section of the store)
1 pound Genoa Salami- sliced from the deli
1 pound Provalone cheese- sliced from the deli

1 jar green olives- whole
** this is a recipe you can prepare ahead. Cook tortellini according to package directions. Once done & cooled a bit- place them in a gallon sized ziploc bag , then pour entire bottle of Italian dressing in the bag. Seal & refridgerate overnight. Slice salami & cheese down the center - to make "2 moons" . Roll salami & cheese up together , place on tooth pick (in the center) . Place prepared tortellini on one end of the toothpick & an olive on the other. YUM !!
