Tortellini and cheese kebabs are a different twist on a party favorite—and they go great with wine and beer.

Cook, cool and marinate cheese and/or spinach tortellini in a vinaigrette or bottled Italian dressing. Drain and alternate on skewers with cubes of ham, salami, cheese (small mozzarella balls or perlini are perfect) and chunks of bell peppers.

Then, watch them disappear! You can serve the skewers on a tray or stick them in a crusty round loaf of bread, a brick of cheese, a halved winter squash or a pumpkin.
