Ingredients
  

Blackstone grilled kielbasa and tortellini ingredients
  • 1 lb kielbasa sausage sliced
  • 1 lb cheese tortellini cooked
  • 2 bell peppers diced
  • 1 onion diced
  • 2 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 garlic minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 salt to taste
  • 1 pepper to taste
  • 1 Parmesan cheese grated, to taste
  • 1 fresh basil chopped, to taste

Equipment

  • 1 cast iron skillet

Method
 

Griddle prep and brown the kielbasa
  1. Heat the Blackstone griddle to medium-high and add the olive oil so it shimmers. Add the kielbasa slices and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until browned and crispy with visible char marks.
Cook vegetables
  1. Add the bell peppers and onions to the griddle. Cook for 5-6 minutes until softened, scraping up any browned bits so they coat the vegetables.
Toss and crisp the tortellini
  1. Add the cooked cheese tortellini, cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning, then toss to combine. Cook for 3-4 minutes until heated through and slightly crispy on the griddle.
Season and finish
  1. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Top with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil, then serve hot.

Notes

Pro tip: Use well-cooked tortellini (not straight from boiling) so it can brown slightly without turning mushy. Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container for up to 3 days; reheat on a griddle or skillet over medium heat until hot. Freezing is not recommended because tortellini texture can soften after thawing. For a lighter option, use reduced-fat Parmesan and swap in turkey kielbasa if available.
