Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 oz kielbasa sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch coins
  • 20 oz refrigerated or thawed frozen cheese tortellini
  • 2 medium bell peppers (any color), sliced into strips
  • 1 medium red onion, sliced thin
  • 1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cups baby spinach (optional)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning (or fresh basil/parsley)
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Slice kielbasa into 1/2-inch coins. Slice bell peppers and red onion into thin strips. Halve tomatoes and mince garlic. Thaw tortellini if frozen.
  2. Preheat Blackstone griddle to medium-high (about 400°F). Drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil and spread with spatula.
  3. Add kielbasa slices to griddle. Sear undisturbed for 2 minutes, then flip and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Push sausage to one side. Add 1 tbsp olive oil, then add bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes. Sauté 4 minutes until just tender. Add garlic and Italian seasoning in the last minute.
  5. While veggies cook, toss tortellini in a bowl with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add tortellini to griddle in a single layer. Sear 2 minutes, then flip and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden and heated through.
  6. Mix sausage, veggies, and tortellini together on the griddle. Add baby spinach and toss until wilted, about 1 minute.
  7. Sprinkle with parmesan and fresh herbs. Toss, taste, and adjust seasoning. Serve hot.

Notes

For gluten-free, use GF tortellini and sausage. Swap veggies or sausage as desired. Don’t overcrowd the griddle for best results. Add spinach at the end to avoid overcooking. Leftovers keep well and taste even better the next day.
