Steps

1Cook tortellini "al-dente" according to package directions and immediately rinse thoroughly in very cold water. I put them immediately in an ice-cold water bath (ice removed so they don't stick to the pasta) to chill, then drain and pat dry.
2Drain and set aside
3Cut up mozzarella into bite-size cubes and place into a bowl
4Tear off pieces of basil large enough to fold over and thread onto a skewer
5Assemble skewers in any order you like and drizzle with olive oil
6Generously drizzle dressing over skewers an hour before serving and chill in the refrigerator, covered, until ready to eat.
