How to Make Griddle Creamy Tortellini Pasta
Gather all your ingredients: Clean and chop the broccoli into bite sized pieces. Remove the Italian sausage from the casings into small pieces.
Preheat the Blackstone Griddle: Turn your Blackstone Griddle to medium heat or 400°F on an electric griddle.
Start Cooking: Once the griddle is hot, pour oil on one half of the griddle. Add the chopped broccoli. Stir to combine. (Add some water to steam cook the broccoli, if needed) On the other half of the griddle, add the case-less sausage pieces. As the Italian sausage cooks, chop into small pieces. Once the sausage is cooked, combine the broccoli and sausage together.
Add the Seasonings of your Choice: Add the minced garlic, ground black pepper, or the seasonings of. your choice. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
Top with the Tortellini Cheese Pasta: Combine the pasta with the cooked sausage and broccoli. Pour 2 cups of the chicken stock over the whole mixture. Cover with a dome lid or griddle lid and let cook for 5 to 10 minutes until the pasta is cooked to your liking. Stir every couple minutes and add more chicken stock to prevent sticking to the griddle. Test the pasta for doneness before moving on to the next step.
