  • Step 1

    Slice tomatoes into wedges (for a medium-sized tomato, slice into 6 wedges).
  • Step 2

    Assemble each skewer with a meatball and piece of mozzarella in-between two tomato wedges. Serve with Basil Pesto.
  • Step 3

    For the Basil Pesto, combine the garlic, basil, and pine nuts in a food processor and process until finely chopped. With the motor running, drizzle in the oil. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl and stir in Parmesan cheese. Season with Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. If making ahead of time, top pesto with a thin layer of extra virgin olive oil to prevent browning and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature and stir before serving.
