Ingredients
  

Sausage and pasta base
  • 1 lb kielbasa sausage Sliced.
  • 1 lb cheese tortellini Cooked.
Vegetables
  • 2 bell peppers Diced.
  • 1 onion Diced.
  • 2 cup cherry tomatoes Halved.
Seasoning and finishing
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 clove garlic Minced.
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 0.25 salt and pepper To taste.
  • 0.25 grated Parmesan cheese For topping.
  • 0.25 fresh basil For topping.

Equipment

  • 1 cast iron skillet
  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Griddle prep and brown the kielbasa
  1. Heat a Blackstone griddle to medium-high, then add the olive oil and let it shimmer.
  2. Add the sliced kielbasa slices and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until browned and crispy, with visible char marks on the sausage.
Cook the vegetables
  1. Add the diced bell peppers and onion to the griddle and cook for 5-6 minutes until softened.
Toss with tortellini and tomatoes
  1. Add the cooked tortellini, halved cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning, then toss until everything is evenly coated.
  2. Cook for 3-4 minutes until heated through and slightly crispy, scraping up any browned bits.
Season and finish
  1. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Top with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil, then serve hot.

Notes

For the best char and crisp edges, avoid stirring the kielbasa too early—let each side brown undisturbed before flipping. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat on a griddle or skillet over medium heat until warmed through. Freezing is not recommended because tortellini texture can soften after thawing. Dietary swap: use a reduced-fat Parmesan or reduced-fat cheese tortellini to lower calories without changing the cook method.
