The pasta skewers, visually appealing and delicious to taste, can be prepared in just a few minutes: a fun and different idea to surprise your guests. For these pasta skewers I chose bowtie pasta, olives, salami, and cheese, but you can assemble them as you prefer. No, it’s not exactly a recipe. It’s more of an idea as I’ve already mentioned. But I’m sure you’ll fall in love with them at first sight!

Ingredients
You need 18 bowtie pasta pieces for the skewers, but I recommend cooking a few extra just in case some break when threading them onto the skewers. For this recipe, I considered three skewers per person.
- 18 bowtie pasta
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 18 cubes Emmental cheese
- 18 black olives
- 18 green olives stuffed with pepper
- 18 slices salami (country or Tuscan)
Tools
- 1 Pot for boiling pasta
- 1 Bowl
- 18 Cocktail sticks/skewers
Steps
Boil the pasta in salted water for the time indicated on the package, drain it al dente and pat it dry with paper towels. Transfer it to a bowl and season with oil, garlic powder, and oregano.
Assemble the skewers: thread the pasta, a green or black olive, a slice of salami folded in half and then again to form a triangle, and a cheese cube. Arrange the skewers on a plate or cutting board and serve them.
Notes
The idea for the recipe comes from The Baker Mama.
