How to Make Blackstone Tortellini

1. Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of oil on the surface and spread it with the back of a spatula.
2. Add the minced garlic and sliced kielbasa; cook, stirring, until the sausage is browned and warmed through.
3. Mix in the cooked tortellini and halved cherry tomatoes. Drizzle the remaining oil, sprinkle with salt, and toss to coat. Add the spinach.
4. Fold in the chopped roasted red peppers, Italian dressing, and oregano. Cook just until the tortellini is heated through and the spinach is wilted.
5. Remove from the griddle, transfer to a serving dish, and sprinkle with shredded Parmesan. Serve warm.
