Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 wooden skewers (6-inch)
• Olive oil for brushing
• Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

How to Make Grilled Cheese-Stuffed Pasta Skewers

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, eggs, salt, and olive oil. Knead the mixture until a smooth dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. While the dough rests, prepare the cheese filling. In a medium bowl, mix the mozzarella, ricotta, Parmesan, basil, parsley, and black pepper until well combined.
3. After resting, roll out the pasta dough on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thick. Cut the dough into strips, approximately 3 inches wide and 6 inches long.
4. Place a spoonful of the cheese mixture at one end of each strip. Roll the dough around the cheese to form tight tubes, sealing the edges well. Insert a skewer through the center of each pasta roll.
5. Preheat your grill to medium heat. Lightly brush the skewers with olive oil to prevent sticking.
6. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the pasta is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
7. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve warm.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure to seal the pasta tightly around the cheese to prevent it from leaking out during grilling.
• Use a mix of cheeses for added flavor and texture.
• Keep an eye on the skewers while grilling to avoid burning.

Easy Variations

• Swap out mozzarella for cheddar or pepper jack for a spicier kick.
• Add cooked spinach or sautéed mushrooms to the cheese mixture for extra flavor.
• Try different herbs like oregano or thyme to change up the taste profile.

What to Serve With It

• A fresh garden salad drizzled with vinaigrette.
• Grilled vegetables for a colorful side.
• A zesty marinara sauce for dipping.
• Garlic bread to complete the Italian theme.
