Instructions
Creating Blackstone Tortellini with Meatballs can be an enjoyable experience when following these clear steps:
1. Prepare the Meatballs: In a bowl, combine ground beef or turkey, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, egg, minced garlic, dried basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Form Meatballs: Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about one inch in diameter.
3. Cook the Meatballs: Heat olive oil in a Blackstone griddle or skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs to the griddle and cook for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally until browned and cooked through.
4. Boil Tortellini: While the meatballs are cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook according to package instructions, typically about 2-4 minutes.
5. Heat Sauce: In a separate saucepan, heat the marinara sauce over low heat until warmed through.
6. Combine: Once the tortellini is cooked, drain and add it to the griddle with the meatballs. Pour the marinara sauce over the top and gently toss to combine.
7. Serve: Remove from heat and transfer the mixture to a serving platter. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, if desired, and garnish with fresh basil before serving.
