Food on skewers are the perfect party food. They lend a festive touch to any occasion as they are fun and easy to handle. Little morsels of different colors, textures, and tastes can all be threaded together to make an eye-catching display. In fact, an entire meal of appetizer, main course, and dessert can all be put on sticks.

Mother-In-Law’s Tongue Pasta

Recently, I made an appetizer with Mother-In-Law Tongues Pasta. I only used half the package, leaving me sufficient pasta to create yet another fun dish. This pasta is too pretty to be simply cooked and toss in a sauce. I initially tried to string them up like a curvy ribbon but they broke apart into thin strands. After some thought, I decided to wrap them around a piece of cheese and thread them together with mint wrapped grape tomatoes. The mint leaves give it a fresh taste and a pop of color.

Edible Floral Bouquet

Finding a vessel to hold these Antipasti Kabobs was half the fun. This little basket with a tall handle was just the right thing. I filled it up with floral foam and covered it with a piece of napkin. These colorful kabobs stood in there nice and tall.

Antipasti Kabobs presented like flowers in a basket with tall handle.

The tall handle provided sufficient clearance for the basket to be carried around. The other option is to create a table center piece with other skewered fruits. I have given you the idea. Use your imagination and creativity to display it to best suit your needs. Remember it is all about the presentation! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Colorful Antipasti Kabobs

I used aged cheddar cheese for the rollups but you can use any kind of firm cheese you prefer. The grape tomatoes can also be swapped out for other fruits and vegetables.

    Biren, you are to clever! I loved it when you used this pasta before. Funny when you say Mother-in-law’s tongue…it reminds me of all the mother-in-law tongue plants I have growing in my back yard!

    BTW, I ordered a pandan plant on Ebay from Malaysia. I will let you know when and if I get it!

    The idea of the antipasta kabobs is genius. Love seeing the Mother-in-Law’s tongue pasta again – so pretty. Good combo of flavors, and I have mint everywhere in my garden that’s looking to be eaten!

    These kabobs are so pretty & look tasty too. I am wondering if the pasta ribbons are flavored or do they taste like regular pasta?

      The different colors in the pasta are naturally colored and so you can say they are flavored but only very subtly. For the most parts, they do taste like regular pasta.
