1 jar artichoke hearts

1/2 pound fresh tortellini, cooked

For vegetarian skewers, omit meat and add extra roasted vegetables.

Drizzle with balsamic glaze or sprinkle with Italian seasoning before serving for extra flavor.

Assemble close to serving time to keep basil fresh.

Jarred roasted peppers save time and work well.
